BREAKING: Peter Obi Gets New Campaign DG
Akin Osuntokun, a former adviser to President Olusegun Obasanjo, has been named the new Director General of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi’s campaign committee.
Osuntokun replaced former DG of the Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation, Doyin Okupe, who announced his resignation in a letter last Tuesday following a Federal High Court ruling in Abuja that convicted him of violating the Money Laundering Act.
The letter was addressed personally to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
Obi’s Media Aide, Emeka Obasi said the new helmsman to head the campaign council would be announced in 48 hours.
But rising from a strategic meeting of the party, which had Obi, members of the National Working Committee and several political candidates of Labour Party in attendance, the LP National Chairman, Julius Abure announced Osuntokun as the new campaign DG.
Abure described the former managing director of the News Agency of Nigeria as a “worthy and trustworthy” replacement for Okupe.
Osuntokun became the South-West leader of the party after he defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the LP in August 2022.
