Presidential candidate of the Labour Party Mr. Peter Obi has said the party is yet to formally release its manifesto.
A news item that went viral on Monday had it that Labour Party had released the manifesto document declaring its programme as the 2023 general elections approach.
However, Obi through a post on his verified Twitter handle on Monday morning, said the copy of manifesto circulating online was not approved by the party.
He urged members of the public to disregard the document, promising to release it personally.
“We have not formally released our Manifesto. I will do so personally. It seems an earlier draft copy under review has made its way into the public space. Until I release the approved and final draft, please disregard what is being circulated,” @PeterObi tweeted on Monday morning.
Nigerians have been eager to see the Labour Party manifesto and get to know what plans and programmes of action, the party and its presidential candidate, have for the country.
The party formally kicked off its presidential election campaign on Saturday, October 29 in Lafia, Nasarawa State where Obi pledged to tackle insecurity, food crisis, electricity, and flood challenges in the country if elected next year.
