Again, stakeholders of the Labour Party have once again written to its presidential candidate in last year\u2019s general election, Mr. Peter Obi demanding for account and audit of all monies received and expended in the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faduri Joseph, one of the chieftains of the Labour Party, raised concerns regarding the utilization of campaign funds during the 2023 Presidential Elections, urging the party\u2019s Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to provide a transparent account of the finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an open letter directed to the party through his media Director, Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba, Joseph emphasized the necessity for accountability in the aftermath of the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He underscored the significance of disclosing details regarding the financial support garnered both domestically and from Nigerians in the diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His words: \u201cSince 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?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is imperative to sit down and look through the lenses of 2023 and see what we did wrong. Where we lack the strength and to work on these lapses for future elections because if we don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an another request, Olawale Oyedokun revealed that after the election, the party had asked Mr. Peter Obi to tender a detailed account of his campaign funding but dodged and rather promised to do so after the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olawale insisted that Obi was supposed to have rendered the account already to match his \u201ctransparency\u201d words with action:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCampaign donations are accounted for after elections. It is not a big deal, he should have had that done by now, without being asked. Auditing must be performed to ascertain if the expenditure was worthwhile,\u201d Olawale insisted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
