Former presidential aide and Director-General of Peter Obi Campaign Organisation, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has been picked as the running mate to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
TheNewsGuru.com, (TNG) reports the sudden emergence of another southerner as Obi’s running mate could lead to electoral failures but spokesman of the party Dr Yinusa Tanko quickly countered this position saying:
“It’s a tactical move to douse tension as we want our teeming supporters to relax their minds as there’s top consultations ongoing on the next move.
TNG gathered that Okupe’s name was submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Okupe also confirmed this development on a national television program declaring that I’m the vice presidential candidate of Labour Party.
