LP Chieftain Demands Accountability for 2023 Presidential Campaign Funds

Prominent Labour Party member Faduri Joseph has expressed concerns to the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, regarding the transparency of finances used in the 2023 presidential election.

Through his communications director, Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba, Joseph wrote an open letter highlighting how crucial accountability is in the wake of the elections.

Joseph emphasised the need for an exhaustive report detailing the funding obtained from both local and diaspora Nigerians.

In order to provide information on the party’s present financial situation and any future intentions, he encouraged Peter Obi in particular as well as the party to issue a thorough report on the money raised and spent throughout the campaign.

Joseph articulated, “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 and 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,” he concluded.
