Breaking: Peter Obi unveils campaign list tomorrow

The list of council nominees for the campaign of the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party will be released tomorrow.

This was announced by the Director-General of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation, Doyin Okupe.

Okupe said the unveiling ceremony tagged “Pre-Campaign World Press Conference” will take place at Chelsea Hotel in Central Area of Abuja by 12.00 noon.

However, reports emanating from the camp of Labour Party indicates that the unveiling of the campaign list was not the party’s initiative.

A source within the party accused the camp of Okupe of coming up with programmes without the input of the party leadership.

The National Youth Leader of Labour Party dismissed the insinuation, insisting that there was no division in the party.

“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.”
