Akin Osuntokun, an aide
to former president Olusegun Obasanjo, has been appointed to head the Labour
Party Presidential Campaign Council.
Osuntokun’s appointment
as the Director-General of the campaign council comes a week after the
resignation of the former DG, Doyin Okupe following his conviction of money laundering
charges.
The National Chairman of
the Labour Party, Julius Abure, who announced the appointment of the new DG on
Tuesday, said the decision was reached after wide consultations with party
stakeholders across board.
Until his appointment as
DG, Osuntokun served as the Zonal Coordinator (South) of the campaign council.
Osuntokun is a former
Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) and previously served as
Political Adviser to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, and Director of the
Presidential campaign of the People’s Democratic Party in 2011.
