The Labour Party (LP) in Anambra State has expressed implicit confidence in the Senator Nenadi Usman-led national Caretaker committee set up to reposition the party.

The Anambra chapter led by Mr. Peter Okoye, in a 4-point resolution from its state executive committee meeting in Awka this afternoon, commended and appreciated Mr. Peter Obi and the Executive Governor of Abia State, Dr Alex Otti.

Mr. Okoye said: “[The Anambra State chapter] …commends and appreciates the efforts of our amiable and indefatigable leaders, His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi and the highest elected office holder of our party, His Excellency Dr. Alex Otti, the Executive Governor of Abia State, for their untiring efforts to reposition our party for greater achievement in the political landscape of Nigeria.

“Their efforts and that of other critical stakeholders including members of the National and State Assemblies elected under the platform of our great party which resulted in the extended stakeholders meeting of the party on September 4, 2024, at the Government House, Umuahia to salvage the party from its impending disintegration was a right step in the right direction…”

The communique, which was read by Comrade Jerry Nnubia, who is the Secretary of the State Transition Committee, “…heartily and joyfully congratulates the newly constituted 29 member National Caretaker Committee of the party under the chairmanship of Senator Esther Nenadi Usman…”

The chapter commended the choice of membership of the Caretaker team.

It expressed its confidence in their ability to do a good job in repositioning the party to win more elections in future, especially at the presidential level.

This, he said, is for the greater good of all Nigerians that are presently suffering under the APC-controlled Federal Government.

The party also vowed its full participation in the coming September 28, 2024, council poll in the state.

LP noted that there was an initial mix-up with names of her candidates as published by the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission, but that it has been corrected accordingly when the party took it up with them.

They urged the public, including ANSIEC to jettison and ignore any contrary statement from whatever source.

Okoye was flanked by other executive members in an interview with journalists shortly after the meeting.

He pointed out that the party was anxiously looking up to the fast-approaching 2025 governorship election in the state and would use the Council poll as a test case of its popularity.

“We intend to take over the Anambra State Government House next year, and nothing will stop us,” he added.
