Labour Party To Account For Campaign Funds – Obi

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, has promised that the organisation will present an open report on the money raised during the campaign in the general elections of 2023.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, February 15, Obi declared that he would see to it that the Labour Party employs a respectable audit company to examine the party’s finances in the wake of a new crisis that has shaken the organisation over form sales and other fundraising efforts for the nation’s general elections in 2023.

He also said that allegations and counter-allegations in the party must be thoroughly investigated and reconciled. Obi said; “I have told everybody that whatever we receive directly or indirectly will be accounted for transparently. For the party, I am a member of the party and they have chosen to say I am the leader.

“What we need to do in the party as I have discussed with the leadership is that we must now appoint a reputable audit firm to audit and be able to deal with the accounting of the party.

“When I am involved in anywhere money is, it must be transparently utilised. So there is the allegation and counter-allegation now that must be thoroughly investigated and verified. We will reconcile it and know exactly what we are doing.

“What we are doing here is accounting for the campaign. I am using the opportunity also to appeal to various support groups or individuals and parties that received some form of funding to support what we are doing which we are very grateful.”

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
