October 12, (THEWILL) – The Labour Party (LP) on Wednesday, unveiled its Presidential Campaign Team at a media briefing in Abuja, disclosing that it is banking on the youth population to win the forthcoming presidential election in 2023. The party also insists that its presidential candidate – Peter Obi and vice-presidential candidate – Baba-Ahmed Yusuf Datti – remain the winning candidates in next year’s presidential election.

The 1,234-member campaign team, according to the party, represents all the geo-political zones of the country as it includes the state and zonal coordinators, as well as the management team headed by the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Council, Dr Doyin Okupe.

Flaunting its presidential candidate as the best for the country, LP slammed both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for presenting what it described as failed and incompetent candidates with no interest in the country at heart.

According to the Labour Party, “The PDP candidate is a product of an unjust and dishonourable process, that clearly violates the equitable rights of entire southern Nigeria, and the desire for balance in Presidential power, already enshrined in the constitution and history of that party, which was shamelessly subverted by subterfuge, and indeed anything built on injustice, ungodliness and evil conspiracy, can never stand.

“As for the APC, the presidential candidacy is fundamentally flawed, through the adoption of a skewed and insensitive Muslim-Muslim ticket, despite all objections across religious lines, in a highly religiously sensitive country like Nigeria, at a time where all reason, calls for maturity, fairness, equity, justice and balance, for the good of the country.

“In all honesty, these errors of selfish and opportunistic political manipulation are not only short-sighted and dangerous, but strike at the very heart of Nigeria’s peaceful coexistence, and in fact the very survival of the nation as an entity.

“And that is why, in response to this affront to good judgement, more than at any time in our history, our country is today witnessing her hottest, fiercest and most dynamic citizen-led political experience, spearheaded largely by the youth population.

“This dynamism is worth reflecting upon because it is not only novel in our history, but also lies at the crux of our country’s direction and ultimate destination, in the nearest future.

“Today, as we commence the campaigns for the 2023 round of elections, the registered voter population figure has tripled, since 2019, and over 60% of the nearly 100 million registered voters today, consists of the youth population.”

The Labour Party, however, promised to be the game-changer that would not disappoint Nigerians.

The Secretary-General of the Campaign Council, Chief Clement Gbazuago Ojukwu, assured that the party would not disappoint Nigerians in bringing much-needed change to the country.
