The Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, his running mate
Datti Baba-Ahmed and Abia State Governor Alex Otti were some of the prominent figures that attended the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on Wednesday in Abuja.
The meeting was held amid ongoing controversy over the Supreme Court’s judgment on the party’s leadership crisis.
The meeting, which took place at the Transcorp Hilton, was presided over by Nenadi Usman, a former minister of finance and current chairperson of the party’s caretaker committee.
Also present were Olumide Akpata and Athan Achonu, the party’s governorship candidates for Edo State and Imo State, respectively.
It came 48 hours after Julius Abure, the factional chairman of the LP, threatened to sanction Obi and Otti for convening the meeting.
Many LP lawmakers, including senators and members of the House of Representatives, showed up at the Usman-led NEC meeting.
The LP NEC passed a vote of confidence in Obi, Baba-Ahmed, Otti, the Usman-led caretaker committee, and the Obidient movement.
Usman, in her remarks, appealed to “members of the former National Working Committee (NWC) to sheathe their swords and join in the process of rebuilding the party”.
