The Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council has
named Akin Osuntokun, a former managing director of the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN), as its new director-general.
Doyin Okupe, the former director-general of the campaign
organisation, resigned after he was convicted over money laundering charges.
In a statement on Tuesday, Diran Onifade, spokesperson of
the campaign organisation, described Osuntokun as a “strategist”.
“The Obi-Baba Ahmed Campaign Organization has appointed
Balogun Akin Osuntokun as the new Director-General of the campaign
organisation. He succeeds Dr Doyin Okupe,” Onifade said.
“Until recently,
Osuntokun was the zonal coordinator (south). He is a Nigerian political
scientist, strategist, researcher, administrator, journalist and writer, with
experience in media advocacy, policy research and implementation and political
analysis.
“A former Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria,
Osuntokun served as Political Adviser to former President Olusegun Obasanjo,
and as Director of the Presidential campaign of the People’s Democratic Party
in 2011.
“He brings to his new position vast political and media
experience.”
