Labour Party Ebonyi Chapter Backs Peter Obi to Salvage Nigerian Economy

The Ebonyi State Chapter of the Labour Party has expressed confidence that only its presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, possesses the solutions and competence to salvage the Nigerian economy. The party has urged Nigerians to align with its vision to take power and move the nation to greater heights.

This assertion was made during an expanded stakeholders meeting in Abakaliki. A communiqué issued at the end of the meeting was signed by Linus Okorie (Ebonyi South Senatorial Zone), Dr. Ezeh Emmanuel Ezeh (Ebonyi North Senatorial Zone), and Emmanuel Nwobo (Central Senatorial Zone).

The communiqué stated, “The members of the National Transition Committee (NTC) of the Labour Party, Chief Fidelis Nwankwo, Rt. Hon. Linus Okorie, and Dr. Ezeh Emmanuel Ezeh, convened the stakeholders’ briefing to inform members of the Labour Party, Ebonyi State Chapter, about the future political activities of the emerging Labour Party, including mobilisation of new members and registration.”

The NTC members also shared details of the 2023 post-election reviews conducted by the national and state working committees of the party. They resolved as follows:

• “His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, remains the National Leader of the Party and is deemed to have the appropriate competences to salvage the Nigerian economy from its declining fortunes.
• Stakeholders observed the need to support the National Transition Committee in its bid to conduct an all-inclusive state congress and national convention of the Labour Party, respectively.
• Stakeholders urged feuding members of the party to sheath their divisive swords in the overall interest of the Labour Party and our target to improve the lives of Nigerians.
• A united Labour Party, Ebonyi State Chapter, shall vigorously pursue the conversion and registration of new members into the party at the appropriate and designated time, setting a target of 400,000 members.”

The Ebonyi Labour Party remains committed to its goal of mobilizing and registering new members to strengthen the party’s base and enhance its capacity to achieve its objectives.
