JUST IN: OBI APPOINTS OBASANJO’S FORMER AIDE, OSUNTOKUN AS NEW CAMPAIGN DG
Agency Report
Akin Osuntokun, a former adviser to President Olusegun Obasanjo, was named the new director general of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi’s campaign committee on Tuesday.
Doyin Okupe, the former director general of the Obi-Datti Campaign Organization, resigned last Tuesday in response to an Abuja Federal High Court decision finding him guilty of breaking the Money Laundering Act. Osuntokun succeeded Okupe.
The Labour Party’s presidential candidate received a personal letter addressed to them.
The new helmsman to lead the campaign council would be revealed in 48 hours, according to Obi’s media assistant, Emeka Obasi, who was quoted by The Punch.
But after a crucial party meeting in which Obi, members of the National Working Committee, and a number of Labour Party candidates were present, LP National Chairman Julius Abure named Osuntokun as the new campaign director.
As Okupe’s replacement, Abure called the former managing director of the News Agency of Nigeria “worthy and trustworthy.”
After joining the LP in August 2022 after leaving the People’s Democratic Party, Osuntokun was named the party’s south-west leader.
