JUST IN: Nenadi Usman-led Executive Resumes At Labour Party National Secretariat

The national caretaker committee of the Labour Party led by Senator Nenadi Usman, on Tuesday, resumed office at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, following a court ruling which affirmed its leadership.

Usman and members of her team arrived at the party office, previously occupied by the Bar Julius Abure-led National Working Committee, at 11am Nigerian time.

Recall that the Usman-led faction had had a lengthy legal battle with the Abure-led camp which got to the Supreme Court but was revived at the federal high which recognized her leadership of the party.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) also affirmed her leadership recently via invitation for party meetings.

However the Abure-led camp has kicked against her recognition by the electoral commission and vowed to challenge the high court verdict.

As the first female national chairman of a major political party in Nigeria, Usman’s ascension is considered a milestone for women’s representation in politics.

Her leadership is expected to shape the party’s future and its role in the country’s political landscape.

Details of her plans and agenda are expected to be announced upon her assumption of office.

End.
