The Labour Party of Nigeria has announced Doyin Okupe as the running mate of Peter Obi but in a placeholder capacity in order to beat the Friday deadline set by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
This means that Okupe is temporarily standing in for the position as the party finalizes the choice of Obi’s running mate.
This development is coming a day after the 2023 Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar picked Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate.
