…As Obi, Otti other stakeholders move to reorganise Party
Former Minister of Finance, Senator Nenadi Usman, has emerged as the Head an interim National Working Committee, (NWC).
Senator Nenadi emerged with a 90-day mandate to organise congresses at all levels of the Party, including a National Convention to elect substantive officers of the Party.
It was gathered that she will be assisted in the 29-member transition committee by former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Darlington Nwokocha, who will act as Secretary.
The new interim NWC emerged on Wednesday, after the LP presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi and other critical stakeholders, led by Abia State governor, Alex Otti, took a bold step toward recreating their political platform, the Labour Party.
According to a statement by The Peter Obi Media Office (POMR), Governor Otti and Obi decided to take the bull by the horn by summoning an enlarged National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party in Umuahia, where the far-reaching decision was made to give direction to the Party.
The well-attended meeting also had the Presidential running mate to Obi, Dr. Datti Baba-Ahmad, Deputy Governor of Abia State and all elected legislators under Labour at the National and State levels as well as gubernatorial candidates of the party in the 2023 polls. The meeting was aimed at ending the crisis in the party which started with the controversial National Convention, which was held in Nnewi, Anambra State by the Julius Abure-led NWC.
In her acceptance speech, Senator Nenadi promised to work with her team for the unity and growth of the Party.
