Following the controversy surrounding the inclusion of former military spokesperson Major-General John Enenche in its presidential campaign council, the Obi-Datti Campaign Organization has declared that it will provide a "updated list."
Tanko Yunusa, the campaign organization's spokesperson, recognized that there were problems with the campaign list that was made public on Wednesday in a tweet that was published on Thursday night.
He said that the campaign council and Labour Party executives had taken note of the problems with the list and have promised to deliver a "updated list" to the public soon.
Although there have been some other concerns with the list, The Tdpnewng.com understands that the change may not be unrelated to requests for Enenche's removal from the campaign council.
Contrary to media reports, Enenche has not yet been fired from the campaign council, but it has been learned that plans are being made to replace him on the presidential advisory council.
The campaign council list was also dogged by allegations of biased appointments, particularly with regard to the South-East-based state coordinators for the campaign in Lagos and Sokoto.
According to Tdpnewng.com, Enenche's appointment to the presidential advisory council of the campaign angered Obi supporters due to remarks he (Enenche) made while serving as the defense spokesperson at the #EndSARS protest in October 2020.
Enenche's expulsion from the campaign council was demanded by Obi's backers who labeled him as the enemy of Nigerian youths.
A live video from the Lekki tollgate incident, in which the military opened fire on unarmed #EndSARS demonstrators, was referred to by Enenche, a former director of information at the Nigerian Defense Headquarters, as "photoshop."
Enenche, who was serving as the defense department's spokesman at the time, stated of the Lekki tollgate shootings, "...Up till this morning before I came here, I even got experts, individuals who have examined the various tapes and they were cropped and altered."
However, the judicial court of inquiry established by the administration of Lagos State found that the military did fire live ammunition at protestors, killing at least 9 of them.
The governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, also acknowledged that two persons perished in the tragedy.
