October 12, (THEWILL) – Ahead of the 2023 presidential elections, the Labour Party (LP) has unveiled a 1,234 list of Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).
Doyin Okupe, an ex-aide to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, is the Director General of the campaign.
Others are Oseluka Obaze, the Deputy Director General and General Manager of the campaign; Alhaji Yusuf Bello Maitama, the Deputy Director General (North), and Denzel Kentebe, the Deputy Director General (South).
Addressing a press conference, Okupe said there was no doubt that the ascendancy of the Labour Party presidential candidate to a “prime position in the hearts and minds of the Nigerian people, has been fuelled by the patriotic zeal, vibrancy, creativity and shining example, in discipline, character and decency of the Obidient movement.”
Okupe noted that empirical polls, from the hearts and minds of those who are publicly on the opposing side, placed Peter Obi, clearly and far ahead of the pack, as the right man for the transformational leadership Nigeria needs.
He assured Nigerians, that “as we commence the campaign for the 2023 elections, in earnest, our party and our candidates, will remain committed to honest, clean and issue-based engagements, with the Nigerian people, whose mandate we seek, in order to turn around the fortunes of this our great, but badly misgoverned country.”
Meanwhile, both Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the party as well as his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, were, however, absent at the event.
While the event was ongoing, Obi tweeted that he was attending the 52nd Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) conference.
“I just arrived at the 52nd ICAN Annual Accountants Conference. -PO”, the former governor of Anambra tweeted.
