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.

Labour Party said that it released the communique to review its political activities in rece­nt times. ​

“The Presidential Ca­mpaign Council has been duly announced with representation across all States, Tribes and Faith. La­bour Party hereby an­nounces the endorse­ment of the Campaign Council,” Labour Party’s NWC stated.

“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.

“The expanded NWC rea­ffirms that the Nati­onal Chairman, Barr­ister Julius Abure is a diligent adminis­trator and the effect of his expertise is felt by every mem­bers of the Party and therefore urge him to continue with the good work of lead­ing the Party to vic­tory come 2023.”
