LP Postpones Congresses, Convention, Inaugurates Planning Committee
The Labour Party (LP) has announced the postponement of its scheduled congresses and national convention, earlier billed to commence on Thursday, March 26, 2026.
The Senior Special Adviser (Media) to the Interim National Chairman, Ken Asogwa, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
Asogwa also disclosed that the party had inaugurated a Planning Committee to oversee the planning of the events.
According to the party’s previously released timetable, ward congresses were slated for March 26, 2026.
This is followed by local government congresses on March 28, state congresses on March 31, and the national convention scheduled for April 11, 2026.
According to Asogwa, the change of dates for the activities arose from a combined stakeholders’ meeting involving members of the Interim National Working Committee (NWC) and representatives of the labour unions.
He said the party resolved to shift the exercise to provide ample opportunity for members and prospective Nigerians to participate fully in the ongoing membership re-registration exercise.
“As part of efforts to ensure a seamless and credible process, the party has also inaugurated a 45-member Congresses and Convention Committee.
The committee is chaired by Hon. Ginger Onwusibe, member representing Isiala Ngwa South/Isiala Ngwa North Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
“Other members of the committee include Comrade Salisu N. Mohammed, Hon. Obinna Aguocha, Hon. Amaobi Ogah, Hon. Ibe Okwara, Hon. Alex Mascot Ikwechegh.
“Hon. Alozie Munachim Ikechi, Hon. Benedict Etanabene, Hon. Emmanuel Emeruwa, Comrade Lawson Osagie, Mrs. Imaobong Ufot, among others.”
He said that, while inaugurating the committee, the National Chairman of the party, Sen. Nenadi Usman, charged members to discharge their responsibilities with utmost diligence, impartiality, and commitment.
She urged them to take full advantage of the postponement to ensure that all necessary preparations were thoroughly completed, guaranteeing hitch-free congresses and conventions.
The party appealed to its members, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and its teeming supporters nationwide for their understanding regarding this adjustment.
It said that a new timetable would be communicated in due course. #LP Postpones Congresses, Convention, Inaugurates Planning Committee# Keyamo Performs Ground-Breaking for Abia Airport Project
