The National Chairman of Zenith Labour Party, Chief Dan Nwanyanwu has debunked rumours that the newly appointed Director General of Peter Obi Campaign Organization, Mr Akin Osuntoku is a member of his party.

Read full statement below:
“The controversy generated by the appointment of Mr Akin Osuntoku as the DG of H/E Peter OBI Campaign Organization is uncalled for.
Akin Osuntoku resigned from the Zenith LABOUR Party since August 2022 and therefore no longer a member of our Party.
Prior to his resignation from ZLP he held the ticket as a Senatorial Candidate in Ekiti State. As at the time of his resignation, we could not replace him because the window allowed by the Electoral Act for substitution had elapsed.
We hold no grudges because it is his fundamental right to associate and exit from any organization.
We wish him well in his new found greener pasture.
We believe this will put to rest the barage of inquiries to us in this regard.
