Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s nominee for president, acknowledged on Friday that his presidential campaign council list contained some “erroneous entries.”
This is because the previous governor of Anambra State also pledged to review and update the list.
The presidential hopeful reiterated his dedication to openness and accountability in a series of tweets on his Twitter account on Friday.
He wrote, “I’ve received several calls of concern following the release of the Labour Party’s Presidential Campaign Council list. Admittedly, there were some omissions and erroneous entries in the list, hence the concerns expressed.
