Along with other stakeholders, delegates and members of our great party, I took part in the Labour Party's 2026 Elective National Convention in Umuahia yesterday. I commend the leadership for successfully organising a peaceful, inclusive, and transparent convention. I warmly congratulate the newly elected 34-member National Working Committee whose emergence reflects true national inclusiveness, with representation from all geopolitical zones of Nigeria. I was also delighted to acknowledge the presence of Her Excellency, Mrs Betty Akeredolu, former First Lady of Ondo State, who participated actively in the convention as a proud member of the Labour Party. Her commitment and contributions further highlight the strength and diversity of our movement. I equally wish to acknowledge the leadership of the dissolved Caretaker Committee, whose stewardship provided stability during a critical transition period. Their efforts, alongside those of other members, ensured that our party remained united and prepared for this historic convention. As I noted in my remarks, politics is a game of numbers. Our new leaders must prioritise reconciliation, reintegrate aggrieved members, and expand the party’s base through active engagement and electronic membership registration. Rebuilding trust and fostering unity will be critical to our collective success. I also charged the new leadership to ensure credible and transparent primaries across all levels. I thank Prof Adam Sani (SAN), one of the Commissioners with Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other officials for effectively monitoring the process. Finally, I expressed confidence in the capacity of the Nenadi Usman-led team. She is a woman of integrity with extensive public service experience, and I believe that with collective support, her leadership will deliver success for our party and for Nigeria.
