2023: Peter Obi not Soliciting for Foreign Funds – LP
By Ozumi Abdul
The Labour Party (LP) has debunked the news making the rounds that it’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, was abroad to solicit foreign funding for his 2023 presidential campaign.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Abayomi Oluwafemi, made this clarification on Saturday to journalists in Abuja.
He berated the opponents who he said were intimidated by the rising profile of the Labour Party and its presidential candidate for spreading the rumour.

“It is ridiculous that our political opponents have descended to a new low to insinuate that our party is oblivious of electoral laws.
“For the avoidance of doubt, neither our party nor our candidate is seeking for foreign funding for any of our activities.
“Our candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, is hitting the ground running.
“He is reaching out to Nigerians in the diaspora most of whom have lost confidence in the current administration and see no reason to come home to invest.
“He is getting them ready to have a rethink because the incoming Labour Party-led administration which by the grace of God, he and Datti will be leading, will provide an enabling environment for direct foreign investment required to revive our ailing economy which the APC has unfortunately destroyed,” he said.
