Preparatory to the 2027 general elections, the Senator Nenadi Usman-led factional group of the Labour Party says it has put up a membership revalidation as registration committee with a target of over 10 million members.

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

It said the membership revalidation, and new registration exercise is chaired by Engr. Ikechukwu Emetu, Deputy Governor of Abia State, with Comrade Ladi Iliya and Dr. Kingsley Okundaye serving as Deputy Chairmen with Kamal Yusuf Ahmed as Secretary.

The party, in a press statement, noted that the process is in line with the constitution of the Labour Party and the resolutions of the statutory NEC meeting held on 18th July 2025 at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.

Recall that the Labour Party on 5th December 2025 submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the list of state working committee members for 32 states of the Federation and the FCT.

It said, the State Working Committees for Ondo, Ekiti, Niger, and Kwara States are currently being finalized and will be forwarded to INEC in a subsequent correspondence.

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

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

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, to revalidate their membership of the party.

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

The Party also urges 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 expresses 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. (The Sun)
