Peter Obi proposes a collaborative approach to resolve the Labour Party leadership crisis. Suggests meeting with Governor Otti and NEC to decide on the party's future, including Chairman Abure's position. Emphasizes inclusive decision-making and views current challenges as part of the party's growth process.
In a recent development addressing the leadership crisis in Nigeria's Labour Party (LP), former presidential candidate Peter Obi has proposed a collaborative approach to resolve the ongoing issues. Obi suggested that he, along with Abia State Governor Alex Otti and other key stakeholders, could work together to find a solution.
The proposed resolution process would involve a meeting of the party's National Executive Council (NEC), adhering to the LP's constitution. This gathering would serve as a platform to discuss and potentially decide on the party's leadership structure, including the fate of current National Chairman Julius Abure.
Obi emphasized the importance of inclusive decision-making, likening the party to a family where all members should have a voice. He made these statements while addressing reporters after a meeting with the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) Transition Committee, led by former NLC President Abdulawaheed Omar.
The situation became more complex when the NLC committee, attempting to take over the party secretariat, was denied access due to an ongoing peace meeting led by Obi and other stakeholders.
Obi acknowledged the recent protests as a positive sign of members' desire for better organization within the party. He stressed that disagreements and misunderstandings are natural in any group dynamic and viewed the current challenges as part of the party's growth process.
