He made the call at a media briefing where he rendered account of the 2023 Obi-Datti Presidential campaign organisation funding, on Thursday.

He said, “For the party (LP), I am a member of the party and they have chosen to say that I am the leader. What we need to do in the party and I have discussed it with the leadership is that we must now appoint a reputable audit firm to audit and be able to deal with the account of the part.

“When I am involved in money, it must be transparent. So the allegations and counter allegations now must be thoroughly investigated and verified and we would reconcile it and know what exactly to do.”

Recall that the National Working Committee (NWC) suspended the National Treasurer of the party, Oluchi Oparah, for six months.

The party disclosed the decision during a press conference at the party secretariat on Wednesday in Abuja.

The National Publicity Secretary of LP, Obiora Ifoh, during the media briefing described Oparah as a mole who was being used by dissidents to cause disaffection in the party.
