The former aide to President Olusegun Obasanjo was unveiled as the new helmsman of Obi’s campaign in Abuja on Tuesday.
He replaced the former DG, Doyin Okupe, who announced his resignation in a letter last Tuesday following a Federal High Court judgment in Abuja that convicted him of violating the Money Laundering Act.
On how he intends to hit the ground running, the former Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria disclosed that he has a considerable wealth of experience in terms of participating in the presidential election in Nigeria.
Rising from a strategic meeting of the party which has Obi, members of the National Working Committee and other candidates of the party in attendance, on Tuesday, LP’s National Chairman, Julius Abure, announced Osuntokun’s appointment.
Abure described him as a “worthy and trustworthy” replacement for Okupe.
