The Labour Party Directorate on Mobilization & Integration has urged key stakeholders, including Peter Obi and Abia State Governor Alex Otti, to set aside their differences and unite the party. This appeal follows the Federal High Court’s ruling on October 8, which recognized Barrister Julius Abure as the legitimate National Chairman of the Labour Party.
Marcel Ngogbehei, LP’s Director General of the Directorate on Mobilization & Integration, emphasized the importance of harmonizing the party’s structures to ensure a unified front. He stated, “The court judgment benefits everyone and resolves the leadership crisis in our party.”
Ngogbehei addressed initial concerns regarding the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) rejection of the Abure-led National Working Committee (NWC), which could have jeopardized the Labour Party’s electoral prospects in 2027. He expressed confidence that the court ruling would provide relief and foster lasting peace within the party.
He called on party stakeholders to collaborate to rescue the suffering masses from the ruling APC and pledged continued cooperation with the Obidient Movement to unify supporters and enhance the party’s structure in preparation for the 2027 elections.
