The Labour Party, LP, has officially recognized Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, as its national leader and extended its best wishes to the party’s former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, following his move to the coalition African Democratic Congress (ADC).
This was disclosed by the party’s National Secretary,
Darlington Nwokocha, in a communique.
It stated that the decision was reached during a meeting of
the Labour Party National Working Committee (NWC) on Wednesday.
The meeting focused on issues related to the party’s
stability, growth, and strategic direction.
“The NWC, in a unanimous decision, affirms its recognition
of His Excellency, Governor Alex Chioma Otti, as the National Leader of the
Labour Party,” the communique partly read.
“The National leadership of the Labour Party wishes His
Excellency Mr. Peter Obi success in his future political endeavors and in his
new political affiliation.”
The party also announced that former Finance Minister Nenadi
Usman has been recognized as its National Chairman.
LP emphasized that it upholds the Supreme Court judgment of
April 4, 2025, which ruled that the tenure of Julius Abure as National Chairman
had expired.
The party urged the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) to accord Usman and Secretary Nwokocha all rights and
privileges as stipulated by the court’s decision.
“The NWC reaffirmed that all congresses and the National
Convention of the Party shall proceed in strict compliance with the Party
Constitution.”
“Members at all levels are encouraged to actively
participate in these congress processes,” the communique added.
LP expressed gratitude to its members and the Nigerian
public for their continued support and confidence, reaffirming that the party
remains united, indivisible, and steadfast in its mission to build a Nigeria
grounded in equal opportunity, social justice, and good governance.
