Congresses concluded, all eyes on Umuahia convention - Labour Party

The Labour Party is moving forward after a period of internal strife, successfully concluding its ward and state congresses. This marks a significant step towards stabilizing the party's leadership structure following the contentious aftermath of the 2023 general elections.

“

As our party wraps up its congresses today, from ward to state levels, I extend warm congratulations to all elected leaders.

Senator Nenadi Usman, at the helm of the interim national leadership, has expressed her congratulations to the newly elected officials. Her message emphasizes the importance of unity, discipline, and teamwork as the party prepares for its national convention in Umuahia. This convention is crucial for electing a new national leadership and consolidating the party's direction.

“

I also commend members nationwide for their commitment to peaceful and rancour-free exercises.

The party's recent history has been marked by leadership challenges and legal battles. However, recent court decisions, including a Supreme Court verdict, have affirmed the legitimacy of the Senator Usman-led interim leadership. Despite former National Chairman Julius Abure's intention to appeal, the current focus is on the upcoming convention, signaling a potential new chapter for the Labour Party.

With congresses concluded, attention shifts to Umuahia for our convention.
