Ahead of the official commencement of campaigns for the forthcoming 2023 presidential elections, LP candidate supporters have planned a summit for July 19th in Kaduna, the heartbeat of Northern politics.

In a statement issued by the group, Peter Obi’s Support Network, POSN and signed by one Comrade Sani Saeed Altukry, Spokesman, of POSN the summit is to brainstorm on the ObiDatti ticket.

Altukry said the summit is specifically designed to interact with supporters of the frontline presidential candidate across the 19 Northern States of the country.

The statement read in part:  “The summit is not a political campaign of any sort, but a convergence of volunteers and would-be volunteers and supporters of the ObiDatti project, for necessary interaction and cross-fertilization of ideas.”

Apart from regular support groups and the NLC who are expected in the summit, civil society groups and the media have equally been invited for the summit

The summit would be Labour Party’s major breakthrough in the North.

Since the LP’s candidate, Peter Obi picked Dr. Yusuf Datti Baba -Ahmed as his running mate, LP and Obi have started inching into the North where they were largely unknown.
