As the November 8 governorship election in Anambra State draws near, the Labour Party (LP) in the state has unveiled an ambitious plan to mobilize supporters across all 326 wards of the state.

The state chairman of LP, Mr. Peter Okoye said in Awka that the mobilization would also be used for the party's forthcoming congresses, national convention, and future elections.

At a meeting with members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) political committees across the state and the various local government areas.of Anambra, Okoye said the ward-to-ward sensitization tour would strengthen the party’s grassroots structures.

He also said that plans are afoot to establish a non-governmental organization that would promote the party’s welfare-driven ideology.

“The Labour Party belongs to Nigerian workers, and they must be represented at every level of the party—from the ward to the national structure,” he said, urging members to be proactive as the party prepares for key political activities.

Reaffirming loyalty to the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, and the Nenadi Usman-led Labour Party, Okoye commended Abia State Governor Alex Otti, Senator Victor Umeh, and Dr. Tony Nwoye for what he described as their exemplary leadership.

On the party’s internal leadership tussle, he warned that members still associating with former National Chairman Julius Abure, were “daydreaming,” arguing that the Supreme Court judgment of April 4 had stripped Abure of any role in the Labour Party.

The meeting was attended by former NLC state chairmen Charles Onyeagba and Jerry Nnubia, who now serve as chairman and secretary of the NLC political committee in the state.
