Controversy yesterday trailed the Labour Party (LP’s) release of 1, 234 names for its presidential campaign council.
Some members of the party had earlier debunked a list purported to be the members of the council but a chieftain of the party, Dr Doyin Okupe, who was announced the director-general of the Peter Obi/Yusuf Baba-Ahmed Presidential Campaign unveiled a fresh list of 1,234 members.
“That is not the party’s programme. He can’t be talking about our party, our party all the time. Which party? Is he the leader of the Labour Party now to announce himself as the DG? It’s an anomaly.”
Who announced the DG of Atiku? Atiku did it. When Tinubu announced his DG, the party did it.”
“Where is Peter Obi? Okupe doesn’t know what he is doing. I want to be quoted. The DG ought to go to the North East or North Central. We are not a sectional political party. Our presidential candidate is a pan Nigerian. How can we have a presidential candidate from the South and the campaign DG coming from the same South,” Abayomi said.
