2023 Presidency: Obedients Don’t Need To Be Paid – Yusuf

A member of North Central Coordinators for Peter Obi presidential Campaign, F.S Yusuf, has said supporters of the Labour Party presidential candidate don’t need to be paid before supporting and promoting their preferred candidate.

Yusuf said the feeling that the Labour Party, being promoted by the “Obedients”, has no structure and massive funding to win the forthcoming general elections, is false and baseless.

The coordinator, who stated this while fielding questions on the Arise TV morning show program,  made it known that the Labour Party and the ‘Obedients’ will rely on volunteers in carrying out their activities and operations running up to 2023 general elections, for the success of its presidential candidate.

Responding to questions on the capability of Labour Party to finance the cost of partaking in the elections, Yusuf said: “Money is very important to win election. This amount of money these people are even talking about, let us not forget, part of it goes to vote buying, getting people that will mount polling units to ensure people’s votes are counted, down till the end of the Election Day.

“But right now, we are having volunteers. Like myself, I am a volunteer; I am volunteering for a course that will give me a better life. I don’t need to be paid for it. Because if I am paid to do a particular task for an amount of money, that will not save me from another eight years.

“So, young people will be volunteering. They will be taking ownership of this project. Definitely, money will play a role. People will contribute money, bring resources, and bring their skills to bear,”
