The Labour Party officially announced former presidential aide Akin Osuntokun who is also a former presidential aide as the new Director-General (DG) of its Presidential Campaign Council, on Tuesday, in Abuja.

Osuntokun’s appointment takes immediate effect from the moment of the announcement; he is expected to resume duty in full capacity as the Director General of the Labour Party presidential campaign organisation.
