In a decisive electoral victory, Apagun Olaolu Samuel Babatunde emerged as the new State Chairman of the party. His emergence, however, was against the wish and interest of some gang-up opportunists who paraded themselves as leaders. Despite their machinations, the majority will of true party members prevailed.
The congress was held against all odds, yet it remained peaceful, transparent, and orderly. Officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were seated at the high table throughout the process, witnessing and validating the conduct of the exercise.
The newly elected executive members, led by Chairman Apagun Olaolu Samuel Babatunde, immediately took their oaths of office and were inaugurated, officially commencing their tenure to steer the party’s affairs in Ogun State.
In his acceptance speech, Apagun reiterated that Enough is Enough, as Labour Party shall no longer preserve the transactional political class, who only uses her platform to cash out during the election season. He admonished the members to stand up and fight for the political emancipation of Nigeria as the political space has been overheated by the incumbent government. He asserted that we have done it before even when we were not organized, we will repeat the political tsunami of 2023 with courage, repositioning and rebranding of the party for greater acceptance.
Without mincing words, the radiation of joy and happiness in the faces of all the attendees is a confirmation that the congress was successful, credible, and a clear rebuke to anti-democratic elements within our ranks.

ATTENTION: National Leadership, Labour Party | INEC | DSS | Nigeria Police Force | General Public.
Our Findings:
1. Failed Disruption: The Abure faction attempted to disrupt the State Congresses held across the country today, Friday, 25th April 2026. Their plot failed due to the vigilance of party members and security agencies.
2. New Threat: we have credible intelligence that the same elements, many of whom earlier defected to the ADC, are now mobilizing to stage protests and cause chaos at the National Convention scheduled for Monday28th April 2026.
3. Bad Faith & Hypocrisy: these individuals abandoned the party but rushed back only after recent court rulings affirmed the Nenadi Esther Usman and Senator Darlington Nwokocha-led National Working Committee as the authentic leadership. On record, Julius Abure conducted his own congresses in December 2025 without involving us. Despite several reconciliation attempts, they rejected peace and now demand inclusion after the process is concluded.
Our Position:
1. The Ward, Local Government, and State Congresses in the South West were duly organized, conducted, and concluded. New executives have emerged to pilot the affairs of the party.
2. We call on the National Leadership not to allow these political contractors to derail the party. They were the architects of Abure’s travails and must not be allowed to distract us again.
3. We urge INEC, DSS, and the Nigeria Police to secure the venue of the 28th April National Convention and prevent impostors from undermining the party’s democratic process.
The task before us is enormous: grassroots outreach, mass mobilization of Nigerians into the Labour Party, and strategic planning to win elections. We refuse to be distracted by elements whose only trade is crisis.
The South West Labour Party is united, focused, and moving forward.
Forward Ever, Backward Never.

"The Interim National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Senator Nenadi Usman, today participated in the party’s ward congress in her Jere South Ward, Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The exercise was held jointly with Jere North Ward at the same venue.
Speaking after observing the process, Senator Usman noted that ward members peacefully elected new executives to manage party affairs at the grassroots level. This marks the commencement of our congresses with the ward level.
What you have seen here are Jere North and Jere South conducting their congresses together, as is customary. New executives have been duly elected, she said.
She outlined the next phases of the exercise, stating that the party will proceed to local government and state congresses before culminating in a national convention scheduled to hold in Umuahia, Abia State on Tuesday 28th April, 2026.
On inclusivity, Senator Usman re-affirmed the party’s commitment to gender balance, emphasizing the importance of increased female participation in leadership, particularly in party administration.
Ward congresses were conducted nationwide across the 8,809 political wards in Nigeria. The elected ward executives are expected to participate in the forthcoming local government congresses scheduled for April 24, 2026, followed by state congresses on April 25, leading to the national convention on April 28, 2026.
Senator Usman expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the exercise, describing it as orderly and well-coordinated. She commended INEC for its prompt deployment of monitoring teams across the country.
“Reports from across the federation indicate that the exercise was largely peaceful and well-organised, with INEC playing a commendable role through timely monitoring, she stated.
She urged party members to sustain the peaceful conduct observed during the ward congresses throughout the remaining stages of the process, including the national convention.
