No be small matter wey dey happen for Labour Party o! Na so e be, as our guy, Governor Alex Otti of Abia State, don receive national leader approval from Nenadi Usman-led faction of the Labour Party. Dem gather for Abuja meet, talk say Otti na their national leader now. Na wetin dem talk for their communiqué last week.
Dis endorsement no just come by chance; e follow after Peter Obi, the big man wey run for 2023 presidency under Labour Party, waka comot join African Democratic Congress (ADC) on December 31. Dem meet discuss wetin dey affect their party as e dey boko haram for their structure. Dem talk say they go make sure Labour Party no scatter, despite Obi don jump ship.
Darlington Nwokocha, na im be the factional National Secretary, e come yarn say, ‘As we dey talk now, Otti na our national leader. We dey yan dis one come from the meeting wey we hold to sabi wetin dey happen for our party.’ Na serious matter, as na only God fit help una if party no sabi wetin dey happen around dem upandan, abi? We still dey follow how dem go manage congress and national convention wey dey come up very soon.
No be small gist, my people; while dem dey hail Otti as their new big boss, Nwokocha still talk say dem get no wahala with Peter Obi, and wish am luck for hin new journey. Dem no wan carry any grudge, as dem be aim for unity wey go help dem run better governance wey dey give everybody level ground.
Dem still dey talk say challenges dey for ground, as many housemates for Labour Party dey revalidate their membership. So, wetin happen? Dem find 5,000 new members just for Abia and more politicians dey switch to ADC since Obi become dem member.
No be joke, as Labour Party also dey try on top Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) make dem recognize their own leaders wey Supreme Court don confirm since April 4, 2025. Na dem dey try cement the position of Usman and Nwokocha as the real oyibos for the party.
As we dey follow this gists, we sabi say politics for Naija no dey easy. How e go be for next elections? Na wetin we go dey look as the parties dey jost for who go carry all the power. Even if Obi don waka go ADC, na him wahala dey make Labour Party no lose guard. Omo Naija, make we dey reason this politics matter well!
