The Labour Party has announced a former presidential aide Akin Osuntokun as the new Director-General (DG) of its Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).

Osuntokun succeeds Doyin Okupe who resigned of late as the director-general of the campaign council for the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Channels Television had exclusively reported on December 19, 2022 that Oshuntokun was a front runner to take Okupe’s position.

Until recently, Osuntokun was the Zonal Coordinator (South) of the campaign council. A former Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Osuntokun served as Political Adviser to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, and as Director of the Presidential campaign of the People’s Democratic Party in 2011.

Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of a Federal High Court in Abuja on December 19, 2022 had found Okupe guilty of receiving over N200 million cash from former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, ruling that his action violated the Money Laundering Act.

The court held that Okupe was guilty in counts 34, 35, 36, and 59 and sentenced him to two years imprisonment with an option of a fine.

Okupe, an ally of Obi right from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before the duo ed the LP this year, subsequently paid a N13m fine and escaped being jailed.

Okupe, a former aide to then President Goodluck Jonathan, later resigned as the director-general of Obi’s campaigns.

Osuntokun, who is from Ekiti State, was a former managing director of the News Agency of Nigeria.

Political analysts said he has an on-field political experience.
He is a Nigerian political scientist, strategist, researcher, , journalist and writer, with experience in media advocacy, policy research and implementation and political analysis. A former Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria, Osuntokun served as Political Adviser to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, and as Director of the presidential campaign of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2011

Good

Ok. He wants to win general election and he couldn't look for a formidable person from the north as DG. Yet Obidients will be doubting Thursday/ARISE Projection. February is not far.

Hehehe south easterners party

A former presidential aide to replace another convicted presidential aide as the DG of PCC of a former appointee of a former president.

How do we easily trust people who were once part and parcel of this same rot to suddenly turn around and post as Messiahs to cleanse the same system they took turn to bastardize? It will take a class suicide to do that.

I will rather trust people who have never been part of the government to do the job. Why is Sowore for instance not getting the attention?

Where is he from?

Obi has never been serious with his campaign.

He's to finished distant 4th behind Kwakwaso, Atiku Abubakar and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in that order.

LABOUR PARTY is only known in some south east state, ask billionaire EZE

Ebora owu ..General Obasanjo the man who has made presidents since 1979. Ignore him at your own peril.Let me see who can stop him. Is anybody still doubting that Obi will become president after February 25th?

[quote author=Tochi3 post=119470402][/quote]I told OBI not to waste his time he can't win -- billionaire elder stateman EZE

OBI knows he is not going anywhere -- soludo Anambra state governor

That’s fine

Obi is an opportunistist presidential candidate just like Sowore but unlike Sowore who's credible and unblemished though not tested, obi is marred with empty noises with nothing to campaign with except reading a purported WhatsApp group messages to his Nzogbu Nzogbu wannabes who were hailing him because they are heedless mob that can't reason on their own.

I have always maintained one thing, obi was a governor of anambra state just few years back, I challenge his ers to list with evidence his achievements if any and from there we can talk.

None of the presidential candidate is saint however all the front runners has governed this country in their capacities.

What are their records?

Who performed better than the rest?

Who threw masses into abject poverty worst than he met it?

Who failed to pay just salaries and always at faceoff with the workers?

Who is to be trusted based on what he's done and not what he will do?

Who's policy documents is real and more practical to implement?

The choice for us is very easy, easier than in the past because all of them promised us before entrusting our hope on them in the past. Who among them delivered?

Let reward good for good and bad for bad. Nigeria is not a banana republic where anything goes, if Nigeria is or was a shithole, we have a duty to turn it around.

Stop crying

Pandora fraud would always go back to PDP to pick his men yet those idiots come online to say they have rejected PDP. Who are the biggest fools?

Rapuru14:


Why crying this hot afternoon

On the contrary you are the one crying because it's getting clearer your fraud of a candidate will be severely disgraced.

Tell me why I should vote him. I have tried to , but as resourceful as Google is, what I saw is an eyesore about your principal records in Anambra State.

He's an irredeemable failure.

This is a good choice if you ask me

No be small, Akin is a master strategist with intimidating credentials.

In the media and theoretically

Corruption and massive nepotism dominated his records in Anambra State.

Industrial strike here and there.

No infrastructure

No human capital development

No sector of the economy improved

The only growth he achieved was growing poverty rate by 100%

He's best described as unimaginably failure

No source?

corleone21:
Stop crying

Your future and that of your unborn children is Paramount to me that is why I'm warning you about the impending danger that is waiting to consume you for being naive and heedless.

Vote for competent leader not a fraudster.

We will not allow you dots in a circle to destroy this country like you destroyed your region.

are you more interested in who becomes president of Nigeria to better your life or who becomes the DG of a presidential candidate??

OBI is a done deal already.

God bless our incoming president peter Babatunde Hassan Oluwadare Ahmed Osamudiamen Obi GCFR president of Nigeria

garfield1:

You would have still complained if he chose a northern that he cheated the sw.Nigerians are happy with the appointment

Another ex-PDP

MrALIVE:

The DG of his campaign might even be more credible than him.

But how will Obi make Nigeria better than this and why did he led Anambra State to poverty capital of the world in just 8 years?

Soludo claimed this with fact and even Obi himself despite his purported vast in statistics, has never debunked the claim with superior arguments.

The question is, has he forgotten where he left the state in of his own personal achievement despite knowing everything from China, Korea, Singapore and Brazil?
