Faduri Joseph, a prominent figure in the Labour Party, has voiced concerns over the management of campaign funds during the 2023 Presidential Elections, urging the party’s Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to offer a transparent account of the finances.
In an open letter conveyed through his media Director, Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba, Joseph emphasized the importance of accountability in the aftermath of the elections. He stressed the need for disclosing details regarding the financial support received domestically and from Nigerians in the diaspora.
Joseph stated, “Given the substantial financial support received from Nigerians both at home and abroad during the 2023 elections, it is expected that the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, would provide a comprehensive report on the funds. This should include the amount received, expenditure details, and any remaining funds for future planning.”
He highlighted the significance of introspection to identify shortcomings and rectify them for future elections. Joseph emphasized the need for the party to address any weaknesses to avoid repeating mistakes and achieving better results in future electoral processes.
Joseph also emphasized the need for transparency, particularly in light of the party’s anti-corruption stance. He urged Obi to demonstrate the party’s commitment to accountability by openly sharing the details of the financial contributions received from well-meaning Nigerians, both locally and internationally.
