Peter Obi To Unveil Labour Party Presidential Campaign List Tomorrow

The Presidential Campaign Organisation of Labour Party Candidate, Peter Obi, has disclosed its plan to unveil the list of nominated persons for its campaign council tomorrow, Wednesday, 12 October.

In an invitation card shared by the Director General of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation, Doyin Okupe, the unveiling ceremony, tagged “Pre-Campaign World Press Conference”, will take place at Chelsea Hotel in Central Area of Abuja by 12.00 noon on Wednesday.

Recall that the Labour Party standard-bearer had, on Friday, launched an official website to promote his political campaign and solicit funds ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

In the development, which was made known in a tweet via his verified Twitter handle, the former Anambra governor encouraged his supporters to visit the official campaign website for the Obi-Datti Campaign organisation, adding that donations from willing donors could also be made through the platform.

The National Youth Leader of Labour Party and the Edo North Senatorial Candidate, Anselm Eragbe, confirmed the unveiling to newsmen.

He, however, clarified that that there was no crack in the party as being speculated by some persons.

According to him, “No, I think we are missing the point. Though the presidential campaign is held by Labour Party, the candidate is in charge of his council list composition. The LP is an integral part of the presidential campaign.

“I can tell you there is no fracas and there are no issues anywhere. So tomorrow, the presidential campaign headed by the DG of the Presidential Campaign Organisation will unveil the programmes and the members of the council.

“All members of the Labour Party will be there together to conduct the event. On Thursday, the LP will have its NWC meeting arising from tomorrow’s event and on Saturday, the National Youth Leader will have a World Press Conference to prepare the youth of Nigerian for action.”

Asked if it is proper for such an event to hold in the absence of the presidential candidate of LP, who is still not back in the country, Eragbe disagreed saying: “Peter Obi is coming in tonight. But depending on his schedule, the event can be held in his absence anyway. Besides, the programme has been agreed upon by the campaign committee to be unveiled. There are no issues really.’’
