Labour Party(LP), under the leadership of Senator Nenadi Usman, on Friday, July 18, 2025, ended its statutory National Executive Committee(NEC) meeting in Abuja.
The meeting was attended by prominent party stakeholders including the Governor of Abia State, Dr Alex Otti, his deputy, Engr. Ikechukwu Emetu, and several other key figures of the party.
Top on the agenda was the inauguration of an interim National Working Committee (NWC),to pilot the party’s affairs pending the conduct of a National Convention.
In addition, the NEC was expected to set up various strategic committees, including one to oversee the party’s nationwide membership re-validation exercise, as well as a congresses committee to be tasked with organising forthcoming party congresses at various levels.
Party insiders say the meeting signals a critical step toward repositioning the LP ahead of future political engagements, including preparations for the 2027 general elections.
The National President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero, was at the meeting, and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees( BoT), Chief Sylvester Ejiofor, sent a representative.
