The attention of members and supporters of the Labour Party has been drawn to various interpretations regarding the recent response from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) concerning the dissolution of Ward, Local Government and State Executives of the party.
For the avoidance of doubt, INEC’s response simply indicates that the proper constitutional procedure must be followed. This includes convening a valid National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, with the required 21-day statutory notice to INEC, and citing the relevant provisions of the Labour Party Constitution 2019 (as amended).
It is important to emphasize that the existing structures under the leadership of Julius Abure had already expired prior to the expiration of the National Working Committee (NWC) tenure on 8th June 2024.
Accordingly, the leadership of the party under the Caretaker Committee led by Nenadi Usman, with the Secretary Darlington Nwokocha, is expected to follow the due process by convening a NEC meeting to obtain the necessary resolutions which INEC can lawfully implement.
Members of the party and the general public are therefore advised not to panic, as the matter is procedural and will be addressed in accordance with the party’s constitution and democratic principles.
