Obi Appoints Akin Osuntokun as New Campaign DG

Pat Stevens/

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, today announced Akin Osuntokun, a former Managing Director of News Agency of Nigeria, as the new Director General of his campaign council.

Osuntokun replaced former DG of the Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation, Doyin Okupe, who announced his resignation in a letter last Tuesday following a Federal High Court ruling in Abuja that convicted him of violating the Money Laundering Act.

Rising from a strategic meeting of the party, which had Obi, members of the National Working Committee and several political candidates of Labour Party in attendance, the LP National Chairman, Julius Abure, announced Osuntokun as the new campaign DG.

Abure described the presidential aide as a “worthy and trustworthy” replacement for Okupe.

Osuntokun became the South-West leader of the party after he defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the LP in August 2022.
