Mr. Peter Obi One of the national chieftains of the Labour Party, Faduri Joseph, had called on the 2023 presidential candidate of the party, Mr. Peter Obi, to account for the campaign fund of the party during the 2023 presidential election. He said this will ensure transparency in the course of running the affairs of the party.
Faduri Joseph, in an open letter released by his media aide, Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba, claimed Mr. Peter Obi and the party may need to tender the financial report of the party showing how much was accrued from both national and international donors, the amount spent and the balance of the party. He said without this, it would be very difficult to ascertain the claim that Mr. Peter Obi is a better alternative to the corrupt leaders in the country.
Part of the open letter read, “Since many Nigerians all around the world supported the Labour Party and its presidential candidate financially, by now, one would have expected the party and, most importantly, the presidential candidate person of Peter Obi, to release the report of the support the party got from many Nigerians both home and abroad. How much have we received and spent, and what have we left, if any, to plan for the next election?
“It is imperative to sit down and look through the lenses of 2023 and see what we did wrong. Where we lack the strength to work on these lapses for future elections because if we don’t look and examine inwardly how we got it wrong in the 2023 election, then we will repeat the same mistakes in future elections and get the same result.
“Our candidate cannot claim to be an alternative to corruption but refused to come out clean to Nigerians and the party of how much kindhearted Nigerians donated, both home and abroad, to support the movement and the new Nigeria agenda for the world to trust and believe us next time.”
