Abure names those in charge of Labour Party’s 2023 campaign funds| Read Details
Aisha Yesufu and Pastor Itua Ighodalo, have been named as managers of the 2023 general election campaign funds of the Labour Party.
This was disclosed by the national chairman of the party, barrister Julius Abure at a press conference after the party’s National Executive Committee, NEC meeting in Abuja on Monday.
He dismissed claims of LP mismanaging its funds, adding that;
“The party was never involved in the distribution of those resources. Our interest was to see how we could produce a president for the party. How it was done was not our concern.
“Hence, we gave them free rein. We allowed them to entrust their resources to whomever they wanted. We followed them loyally by allowing them to administer the campaign funds.
“Regarding donations, the party was not involved in collecting any campaign donations; they were channelled to accounts opened for campaign purposes, with Aisha Yesufu and Pastor Itua Ighodalo as the signatories.
“They were also responsible for payments to polling unit agents. The party did not handle the payments to the agents.”
