In line with the Constitution of the Labour Party (LP), the resolutions of the statutory National Working Committee, National Executive Council meeting, the party yesterday submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) list of State Working Committee members for 32 states of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The Interim National Publicity Secretary, Ife Salako, said the State Working Committee lists for Ondo, Ekiti, Niger, and Kwara states are currently being finalised and will be forwarded to INEC in a subsequent correspondence.

The Labour Party urges party faithfuls in the affected states to remain patient as urgent steps are being taken to resolve local issues involving party leaders in these four states.

He said that as part of renewed efforts to strengthen the party’s preparedness for the 2027 presidential, national, state and local elections, the Labour Party has notified INEC of the constitution of a National Steering Committee for Membership Revalidation/New Registration.

This committee will also oversee the national launch of the Labour Party’s nationwide membership drive, codenamed ‘Labour Party Connect 10 Million Nigerians… Connecting 10 Million Patriots for a New Nigeria’.

The Membership Revalidation/New Registration exercise is chaired by the Deputy Governor of Abia State, Engr. Ikechukwu Emetu, with Comrade Ladi Iliya and Dr. Kingsley Okundaye serving as Deputy Chairmen with Kamal Yusuf Ahmed as Secretary.

The Labour Party enjoins its members and teeming supporters nationwide to take full advantage of the revalidation exercise scheduled to commence on December 17, 2025 and end on January 20, 2026, in order to revalidate their membership of the party.

The party also called on Nigerians who continue to bear the brunt of the current All Progressives (APC) government’s misrule to register with the Labour Party and be part of the movement for a New Nigeria.

It also urged the newly constituted Interim State Working Committees to cooperate fully with the National Steering Committee for Membership Revalidation/New Registration to ensure a seamless exercise and to help the party surpass its projected target of registering 10 million members within the stipulated time frame.

The Labour Party expressed profound appreciation to the Nigerian people, especially the media, for their steadfast support during recent challenging times. “We urge all Nigerians to remain vigilant, as the forces that orchestrated the past crises – now resolved by the apex court – are still lurking around.”
