Akin Osuntokun, the newly-appointed director-general of the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council, is listed as the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) senatorial candidate for Ekiti central.

Osuntokun, a former managing director of NAN, was named the director-general of the campaign council on Tuesday.

The final list of candidates for senatorial candidates for the 23 February 2023 National Assembly election starkly reveals that Osuntokun Olusola Akintola (Akin Osuntokun) is the Zenith Labour Party ( ZPL) candidate for Ekiti State Central Senatorial District,” he wrote.

“There is nothing to show that Akin Osuntokun has withdrawn his candidacy.

“I was therefore flummoxed when Labour Party announced Akin Osuntokun as the Director General of Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organization to replace Dr. Doyin Okupe.

“What an illegality and bundle of confusion and contradictions coming from the Labour Party that has been pontificating about change in Nigeria.


“I am scandalized by the revisionism of the Labour Party and its Presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

“This blunder yet again by Labour Party and its Presidential candidate is the clearest indication of how confused they are.”
Asked if this was an oversight by the party, Yunusa Tanko, spokesperson of the LP presidential campaign council, told TheCable that Osuntokun will speak on the matter soon.

“I can tell you authoritatively that Akin himself will come and clear the air on that particular matter. He will speak to the press very soon and we will share the press statement,” he said.

Meanwhile, Okoi Obono-Obla, ex-presidential aide, took to Facebook on Wednesday to express his disapproval over the matter.


A look at the list of approved senatorial candidates published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in September shows that Osuntokun is listed as the ZLP candidate for Ekiti central senatorial district for the 2023 elections.

Lol. I thought APC and PDP rejoice when candidates from the NNPP and other parties switch to their party?

Why can't Akin switch from ZLP to LP?

In one hand, you say Labour Party is not on ground. Yet you spend so much time and resources on them.

Akin Osuntokun that won’t win his polling unit in Okemesi Ekiti

What the APC and PDP wants is for Osuntokun to switch to LP formally, he's contesting under a party and campaigning for a candidate under another party, what sense does that make? you obidense like to overlook illegality whenever it favors Obi...

If he's so sure Obi is going to win then he should quit ZLP...

Had the ZLP complained to you? Have they told you that he hasn't quit the party? The party in question is not complaining. But APDP are crying more than the bereaved.

Now tell me with this your 2 face, how do I accept your Obi? A house built on lies can not hold... Everything you guys wished for Nigeria and APC is happening to you right in front of our eyes... You guys were saying APC will break after their primaries but today they are the most united party in the election. Start wishing others well and good will follow you...
Obi would have been a good candidate in the election but you people started his campaign by attacking people, cursing, insulting and even threatening them, that's why everybody is attacking Obi today... You hardly even see PDP and APC members attacking each other but it's everybody against your mediocre Obi
