Trouble in Peter Obi’s Camp As New Campaign DG is Told to Resign Hours After Appointment.
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, has just gotten into more trouble. His newly hired campaign director, Akin Osuntokun, has been asked to quit. According to Naija News, Osuntokun was named the new Director-General (DG) of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) on Tuesday. He used to work for President Olusegun Obasanjo when he was a civilian.
Osuntokun was chosen to replace the troubled Doyin Okupe, who quit his job as director-general of the Obi- Datti campaign council after being convicted of money laundering.
The PCC is the campaign arm of the Labour Party presidential candidate. Osuntokun was selected for the position after Doyin Okupe, who had been in the middle of controversy since his conviction on charges of alleged money laundering, tendered his resignation as the director-general of the Obi- Datti campaign committee a few days ago. However, Abayomi Arabambi, who is now serving as the National Publicity Secretary for the Labour Party, has spoken out against Osuntokun’ s nomination and has requested that he quit as soon as possible.

Arabambi expressed his opposition to Osuntokun’s appointment because he is a member of the Zenith Labour Party in a statement that was made accessible to reporters on Wednesday morning (ZLP). ” In my capacity as the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, I am opposing the announcement of Prof Akin Osuntokun as the DG Labour Party Campaign Organization. This is because, at present, he is the Senatorial candidate of Zenith Labour Party, ZLP, Ekiti State and on February 25, 2023, election for the National Assembly. “
“By this treacherous act, National Chairman Barrister Julius Abute has compromised the victory of the Labour Party, and this political rascality will not stand.” Arabambi said.
The statement continues “In the light of this, I am therefore calling on Prof. Akin Osuntokun to Quit as the DG of Labour Party Campaign organization with immediate effect or face judicial action within the next five days”
