…Wishes Obi well; sets up Reconciliation C’ttee
From Idu Jude, Abuja
Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Governor of Abia State, Alex Chioma Otti, has hailed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for recognising the Senator Nenadi Usman-led National Working Committee (NWC) by making changes to its website.
Governor Otti said the release of the much-awaited Certified true copy (CTC) of the Supreme Court Judgment has brought to an end the protracted leadership tussle in the Labour Party, and has given room to self-discovery.
Otti, while addressing the party media after the NWC meeting over the weekend in Abuja, highlighted that the party regrets non-participation in the forthcoming FCT area council polls, while promising that the party is set for Nationwide mass registration of members ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“The party regrets that it is not going to participate in the upcoming FCT area council election this February. And that was because of the prolonged legal battle, but with the INEC affecting changes of party leadership, we are ready to bounce back for other local government and state congresses, and the National convention”.

Meanwhile, the Senator Nenadi Usman-led National Working Committee (NWC) has bid the former LP 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Obi, farewell and good luck in his new party.
“For now, the party acknowledges Obi’s departure,e and we wish him well. Now, we are not discussing his next decisions or whether to come back,k but one good thing well pronounced is that he has a party where he belongs.
“But I must tell you that we also had put up a reconciliation committee to reunite aggrieved party members who had lost many National Assembly members due to the internal crises. In the same vain extends olive branch to Abure and his group to come over so that we build a stronger and viral political party against any opponent”.
While clarifying issues on a possible form of coalition against the 2027 general elections, he said, “The Labour party doesn’t need to be in a coalition because it is already a coalition of all the Nigerian workers forming about 75%of the Nigerian population. So why do we need another coalition to succeed?
The NWC meeting was fully attended by members of the Nigerian Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress, as well as other party faithful.
