Labour Party to Amend Obi’s Campaign Team List

The leadership of the Labour Party on Thursday held an emergency meeting to address the backlash that trailed the inclusion of some names as well as the exclusion of certain candidates nominated by members of its National Working Committee in its Presidential Campaign Council.

There has been division in the party over Wednesday’s unveiling of the council.

Barely 24 hours after the PCC inauguration, there were criticisms over some of those who made the list.

One of such inclusion was a former Director of Information at Nigerian Defence headquarters, Major General John Enenche.

Reacting to the outrage on Thursday, the national chairman of the party, Julius Abure, admitted that they goofed in the composition of the campaign team.

He said, “Our attention has been drawn to some errors of omission and wrongful inclusions in the Presidential Campaign Council list released by the party yesterday. The party is making efforts to correct all these anomalies.

“We appeal to those affected to please await the redress we are currently strenuously working on. We will publish an updated version of the Presidential Campaign Council list shortly.”
