Daily Report reported that Mohammed Zarewa was named as Chairman of the PCC, while the Labour Party National Chairman, Julious Abure was named Chairman of the Advisory Council.

The list announced during a Pre-Campaign Press Conference on Wednesday by the Labour Party National Organising Secretary, Clement Ojukwu, also had Osaleka Obaze named awGeneral Manager of the Campaign.

However, some members of the party were quick to debunk the list immediately it was made public.

The Labour Party National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Arambabi Abayomi, questioned the composition of the list, adding that it is not the party’s program.

He argued that the presidential candidate and the Director General of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign cannot be from the same region.

Abayomi said;

“That is not the party’s programme. He can’t be talking about our party, our party all the time. Which party? Is he the leader of the Labour Party now to announce himself as the DG? It’s an anomaly.

“Who announced the DG of Atiku? Atiku did it. When Tinubu announced his DG, the party did it.”

“Where is Peter Obi? Okupe doesn’t know what he is doing. I want to be quoted. The DG ought to go to the North East or North Central. We are not a sectional political party.

“Our presidential candidate is a pan Nigerian. How can we have a presidential candidate from the South and the campaign DG coming from the same South.”
