Chieftain of the Labour Party and Anambra governorship Aspirant, Mr John Chuma Nwosu has described Labour Party (LP) as the only credible leadership alternative in Nigeria presently on which all well-meaning citizens desirous of a drastic positive change in the country should come on board.
Nwosu who spoke in a statement on Thursday in Awka, while welcoming the outcome of the extended stakeholders meeting of the party held in Umuahia, Abia State on 4 September, 2024, which culminated in the appointment of 29-member Caretaker Committee under the leadership of Senator Nenadi Usman as the Chairman and Senator Darlington Nwaokocha as the Secretary, congratulated them and other members of the Caretaker Committee.

“My congratulations also goes to conveners of the meeting, our National Leader H.E. Peter Obi, and the Chief Host, and LP NEC Member H.E. Governor Alex Otti of Abia State, for this pragmatic, visionary and courageous steps aimed at repositioning the party and ending its arrested development, growth and national spread.
“The Labour Party, given its bona fides and sterling performance in the 2023 general elections, remains the only credible leadership alternative in Nigeria. It is thus incumbent on all well-meaning Nigerians who wish to see a drastic positive change in our country to come on board”
Nwosu said he remain fully confident that whatever challenges and grievances, real or perceived that exist within the party can now be resolved amicably through constructive engagement.
“The LP and its foremost partners, the NLC and TUC should work in concert to salvage the Nigerian population and masses from the present mis-governance predicaments that is badly affecting our nation and people.
“We expect that the remit and tasks of the Caretaker Committee will be in accordance with the Party’s Constitution. We also expect the politically experienced Caretaker Team to carry out their interim statutory functions expeditiously and with firm resolve” he said.
