The Labour Party will be a powerful and viable opposition party in Nigeria, according to Obi Aguocha, the congressman for the Ikwuano/Umuahia North/Umuahia South Federal Constituency of Abia State.

Aguocha made this statement on Thursday during the Labour Party’s National Executive Council Meeting, which saw former Finance Minister Nenadi Usman emerge as the party’s Caretaker Committee Chairman.

He counseled party members and supporters of Nigerian democracy to unite in order to develop the party and accomplish the intended outcome.

Remember how the Labour Party leaders called an emergency NEC meeting on Wednesday in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling overturning the Abuja Court of Appeal’s ruling recognizing  Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the party.

Following the NEC meeting, the party’s leaders visited the Independent National Electoral Commission’s office and requested that Nenadi Usman be acknowledged as the LP chairman.

“Now is the time to rebuild, to restore the hope and confidence reposed on Labour Party. To present credible, transparent, and accountable leadership. To ensure ground-up representation and administration at all levels of the party.

“To seek genuine peace and reconciliation with all aggrieved persons.

“To foster new growth into the party and strengthen and embolden the obedient movement and other support groups using the platforms of the party, ensuring that Labour Party remains the only viable and veritable alternative for our desired opposition today and our reinforced commitment to wrestle and restore positively responsive governance structures of Nigeria,” Obi Aguocha said.

In response to remarks made by Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate for the general election of 2023, at the LP NEC meeting, in which he was praised for being “a lonely but unwavering voice” in the National Assembly, Aguocha said the remarks were not only praise but also an exhortation for everyone to defend democracy and good governance.

He mentioned that there are roughly 35 members of the Labour Party in the National Assembly and expressed the hope that they will all act quickly to improve the party’s definition.
