Osuntokun Fit To Serve As Our Campaign DG – Obi-Datti

The Obi-Datti Campaign Council yesterday said its new director general Akin Osuntokun is fit and proper to serve in his new role. 

The campaign stated this while clarifying that Osuntokun isn’t running for the Senate.

It added that he had abandoned his senatorial ambition in preference for the national movement for a formidable third force to rescue Nigeria.

A statement by the head of media Obi-Datti Campaign Council, Diran Onifade, said “The appointment of Balogun Akin Osuntokun as the Director General of the OBIDATTI Campaigns came on the heels of the resignation of Dr. Doyin Okupe from the position. 

“Prior to what is an elevation in the Campaign structure, Osuntokun was the South West Coordinator of the campaign in which position he has been functioning.

“Truth is that Osuntokun once expressed interest in running for the Senate but such decision was invariably abandoned in preference for the national movement for a formidable third force to rescue Nigeria, for which Peter Obi is the symbol of an unprecedented national coalition. 

“Osuntokun has thus not taken any step in actualisation of any Senatorial ambition and will not be deterred in the national assignment of rescuing Nigeria through the OBIDATTI Movement. The new position of the Director General is the continuation at the national level of the same objective at the South West zone.”

“Kindly note that Abayomi Arabambi is no longer the National Publicity Secretary of Labour Party. 

“He is a saboteur serving the interests of a generous paymaster outside the party. We urge that he be treated as such going forward,” Onifade said.
