Senator Nenadi Usman appointed Labour Party Acting National Chairman

Senator  Nenadi Usman has been appointed the Acting National Caretaker Chairman of the Labour Party, taking over from Julius Abure whose tenure has since expired.
Also appointed is Senator Darlington Nwokocha who will serve as the Secretary of the Party’s Caretaker Committee.

Their appointment followed a resolution at the Party’s NEC/Extended Stakeholders meeting held on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at Government House Umuahia.
A 29-member Caretaker Committee was appointed to ensure a seamless transition and prevent a leadership vacuum in the party.
The Terms of Reference for the Committee include conducting Ward, Local Government, State Congresses, and National Convention in accordance with the Labour Party’s Constitution.

This new role places Usman at the helm of one of Nigeria’s major political parties during a crucial period of transition and organizational restructuring.

In her new capacity, Nenadi will oversee the party’s activities and strategic direction, stepping into a position that carries significant responsibility.

Her appointment follows a period of intense scrutiny and change within the Labour Party, highlighting the importance of effective leadership as the party navigates its future.

The transition comes amid praise for the party’s previous leadership, including figures like Peter Obi, Alex Oti, and Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, who have been recognized for their impactful contributions.

As Senator Usman assumes her new role, there is a strong emphasis on continuing the party’s vision and maintaining the momentum established by her predecessors.

She was a former Finance Minister in Nigeria and Senator who gave her all during the 2023 General Elections for the Labour Party and the Obidients movement.
