A fresh crisis is brewing between the Labour Party and the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation following plans by the latter to unveil a campaign council which the party described as alien.
The Dr. Doyin Okupe-led Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organization yesterday sent out invitations for the official unveiling of the P.O Presidential Campaign Council scheduled to hold on Wednesday .
The invitation tagged: “The Director General Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation, Dr. Doyin Okupe Cordially invites you to a Pre-Campaign World Press Conference and the presentation of the Presidential Campaign list …” was signed by Emeka Edmond Onwuocha, on behalf of Okupe. Most of us are of the opinion that our campaign council must be all embracing and enjoy national spread. We must not repeat the mistakes of political parties we want to replace.
Meanwhile, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi and his running mate, Dr Yusuf Datti Ahmed, will kick-off their campaigns on October 18 in Lafia, Nasarawa State. Thereafter, the LP presidential rallies will go to the South-South beginning in Benin, Edo State ; Asaba, Delta ; Yenagoa, Bayelsa ; Port Harcourt, Rivers ; Uyo, Akwa Ibom ; and Calabar, Cross River .
