A member of House of Representatives, Obi Aguocha (LP-Abia) has urged all members and lovers of Labour Party (LP) to come together and work toward rebuilding the party to achieve the desired result in the 2027 general elections.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja on Thursday, Aguocha said that Labour Party remained a viable and veritable alternative political party in Nigeria, under the leadership of the Caretaker Committee Chairman, Sen. Nenadi Usman.
Aguocha, representing Ikwuano/Umuahia North/Umuahia South Federal Constituency of Abia, recalled that the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party had held an emergency meeting on Wednesday.
He said that the meeting followed the Supreme Court judgment that set aside the judgment of the Court of Appeal which recognised Mr Julius Abure as the party’s National Chairman.
The lawmaker said that the leaders of the party, after the NEC meeting, proceeded to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters to inform the electoral body to recognise Usman as the party’s national chairman.
Aguocha said it was now time for all lovers of the party and democracy in Nigeria to come together and work toward rebuilding the party in order to achieve the desired result.
“Now is the time to rebuild, to restore the hope and confidence reposed in Labour Party; to present credible, transparent and accountable leadership; to ensure ground-up representation and administration at all levels of the party.
“Now is the time 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.
“It is time to ensure 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 in Nigeria,” he said.
