Akin Osuntokun, the newly-appointed director-general of the
Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council, says his team will work hard
for the victory of Peter Obi.
Osuntokun said this in a statement on Thursday announcing
his acceptance as the DG of the LP campaign council.
“It is with a deep sense of duty and humility that I accept
my appointment as the Director General of Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign
Council, especially at this critical point of Nigeria’s political history,” the
statement reads.
“Every ardent observer of the Nigerian political space and
recent trend of events will attest to the teeming organic support the emergence
of His Excellency, Peter Obi, as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party
has received across the country.
“This is undeniably a
pointer to the fact that Nigerians have anchored their hope on the ensuing
victory of Peter Obi in the coming 2023 presidential election. My team and I
hereby promise to work assiduously hard to ensure victory for the Obi-Datti
ticket come February 2023.
“We are not oblivious of the magnitude of work required of
us to deliver on the promise so declared. We are braced for it, and equally
find solace in divine guidance, the counsel of our elders, and the unflinching
support of well-meaning Nigerians that are eager to see the Nigerian socio-economic
status quo upturned, and our beloved country progress like other progressing
countries all over the world.
“I am confident that under my leadership, the campaign will
excel. Challenges will surely come, but we will surmount them as one united family.
“May I use this
evident opportunity to encourage our supporters across the country and in the
diaspora never to relent, but to continue with their amiable support at
different levels, in different quarters, and through their respective
approaches.
“The race has not ended, the finish-line is in sight, and
the prize is assured. We shall be victorious, and we shall celebrate!”
He also expressed his appreciation to the party leadership
for finding him worthy of the position, and promised that his team would work
for the success of the campaign.
“I wish to appreciate the trust reposed in me by the
leadership of Labour Party and the advisory body of Obi-Datti presidential
campaign to steer this ship even as we sail through stormy political waters in
Nigeria. We will get to our destination in delight,” he added.
“The campaign
promises to continue the tradition of engaging with politics devoid of
acrimony, and to always push the boundaries of issue-based campaign, as we lead
the advent of a new Nigerian political terrain.”
