Obi Launches Website for Fundraising and Campaign
FastNews reports that Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s nominee for president, opened an official website on Friday to publicize his political campaign and raise money in front of the 2023 presidential election.
The declaration was made in a tweet sent from the former governor of Anambra’s verified Twitter account.
Obi, who encouraged his supporters to visit the official campaign website for the Obi-Datti Campaign organization, disclosed that donations from willing donors could also be made through the platform.
He tweeted, “I invite every member of the OBIdient Family, and every supporter of our march to a new Nigeria to visit. You can use that medium to support and donate in cash & kind to the campaign.
“Later today, I’ll be speaking at Oxford University on “Trends and Prospects of Nigeria’s Economy: Broader Implications for Africa’s Development.”
The development is coming two days after concerned Nigerians expressed concerns that Obi’s continual consultation in the diaspora was stalling his campaign.
This is even as the LP leadership said that the inauguration of its presidential campaign council could not be conducted in the absence of the party flagbearer and its Chairman, Julius Abure.
Both Obi and Abure are currently attending rallies and political programs organized by some Nigerians living abroad.
Meanwhile, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Abayomi Arabambi, told our correspondent in Abuja on Tuesday that the constitution of the campaign council was being reviewed.
Arabambi disclosed that an inauguration date could not be given in the absence of the party’s chairman and the candidate.
