Labour Party Leaders Convene at Transcorp Hilton for NEC Session
Abuja, 9 April 2025 – The Labour Party’s National Executive Council (NEC) has gathered today at the prestigious Transcorp Hilton in Abuja for a pivotal session chaired by Senator Nenadi Usman. The meeting, which marks a significant moment for the party’s leadership, saw the arrival of prominent figures, including the party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi and his running mate, Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed.
Joining them were other key party stalwarts, such as Abia State Governor Alex Otti, alongside governorship candidates Olumide Akpata from Edo State and Athan Achonu from Imo State.
Their presence underscores the importance of the session, which comes amid ongoing efforts to unify and strengthen the Labour Party following a period of internal challenges.
The NEC meeting, held in one of the capital’s most iconic venues, is expected to address critical issues facing the party as it looks to solidify its position ahead of future electoral contests. Senator Nenadi Usman, who has taken the helm of the party’s caretaker committee, is steering discussions aimed at fostering cohesion and setting a clear path forward.
Peter Obi, a central figure in the party’s recent rise, arrived alongside Datti Baba-Ahmed, signalling a united front among the leadership. Governor Alex Otti, the party’s sole governor, brings regional influence to the table, while Akpata and Achonu represent the Labour Party’s ambitions in Edo and Imo, respectively.
The gathering at Transcorp Hilton reflects the Labour Party’s determination to regroup and refocus, with all eyes on how this session will shape its strategy moving forward. As the meeting unfolds, party faithful and political observers alike are keenly awaiting outcomes that could define the Labour Party’s trajectory in Nigeria’s dynamic political landscape.
