The expanded National Working Committee (NWC) of the Labour Party has said that some names in its Campaign Council list were omitted and misplaced on Friday.
In a communique released on Friday after its NWC meeting, the party promised to produce a supplementary list with corrections.
The statement was drafted by the party’s Communique Drafting Committee chaired by Arabambi Abayomi, Labour Party’s National Publicity Secretary.
There was a public outcry on Thursday over the inclusion of John Enenche, a retired military general who dubbed video evidence of the Lekki tollgate shooting as “photoshopped”, in the campaign council.

“However, we acknowledge some omissions and misplacement of some names in the Campaign Council which will be corrected and a supplementary list released before the inauguration of the Council. Also corrected is the inclusion of NCfront, NLC and TUC members in the Campaign list.
