Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate in the 2023 general elections, and other key stakeholders, led by the Abia State Governor Alex Otti, Wednesday, took a definite step towards recreating their political platform, the Labour Party.

Resolving to putting an end to the party’s internal crisis since the controversial National Convention held in a hotel room in Nnewi, Anambra state, by the Julius Abure-led National Working Committee (NWC), the sole Labour Party Governor, the Abia state governor and the party’s National Leader, Peter Obi, decided to take the bull by the horns by summoning an enlarged National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party in Umuahia, AbiavState, where far-reaching decisions were made.

In a statement signed by Dr. Yunusa Tanko, POMR Spokesman, former Minister of Finance, Sen. Nenadi Usman, was nominated to head an interim NWC, with a 90-day mandate to organise congresses at all levels of the party, including a National Convention, to elect substantive national officers for the Labour Party.

Sen. Darlington Nwokocha, former Senate Minority Leader, will serve as Secretary to the 29-member Transition Cmmittee.

The well-attended meeting also included Obi’s running mate, Dr. Datti Baba-Ahmad; Deputy Governor of Abia State, all elected Labour Party Legislators at the national and state levels, as well as the party’s gubernatorial candidates in the 2023 elections.

Senator Nenadi promised to work with her team to ensure the party’s unity and growth during her acceptance speech.

The committee noted that this bold political move came 48 hours after the appointment of a National Coordinator for the Obedient Movement, Dr. Yunusa, a key component of the Labour Party.
