Peter Obi appoints new media aide

The Labour party (LP) Presidential candidate for 2023 election, Peter Obi, has named Ibrahim Umar to his team of media handlers.

This was disclosed in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by the Peter Obi Media Reach.

Umar took over from the Obi campaign spokesman, Yunusa Tanko, who was recently announced as the Interim National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement worldwide.

While appealing for the cooperation of Nigerians and supporters of the LP national leader, Obi media team described the media practitioner cum activist as a versatile Obidient member who is equally as ‘hungry as Tanko in his quest for a new Nigeria.’

The statement read, “The Peter Obi Media Reach wishes to inform members of the public, especially media operatives, of minor changes in the media reach personnel. The POMR publicist, who was also the chief spokesperson of the Obi Presidential Campaign, Dr Yunusa Tanko, is leaving his position for another huge challenge.

“Tanko will be replaced in POMR by Mallam Ibrahim Umar, another versatile Obidient, who is as hungry as Tanko in the quest for a new Nigeria. Tanko has been appointed interim national coordinator of the Obedient Movement, a job that will see him coordinate the group activities nationally and internationally.

“We, therefore, appeal to members of the public to cooperate with these Nigerians in their new endeavour as we continue the struggle towards dismantling the gang of political criminals holding our dear nation hostage. A New Nigeria is Possible.”
