The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, and the Governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti, have scheduled the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting for April 9 in Abuja.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by Mr. Ibrahim Umar, spokesman of the Peter Obi Media Reach.
According to the statement, the NEC meeting will be followed by an interactive session involving major stakeholders and other key organs of the party.
Expected attendees include Mr. Obi’s 2023 running mate, Dr. Datti Baba-Ahmed, serving and former senators, as well as all senatorial candidates from the 2023 general election.
Also invited are current and former members of the House of Representatives, 2023 House of Representatives candidates, members of the National Caretaker Committee, and the National Transition Committee.
Other stakeholders expected at the meeting are former governorship candidates who remain in the party, representatives of the NLC/TUC Political Commission, and members of the former National Working Committee.
Umar said the meeting, convened by the two party leaders, has become necessary to clarify issues surrounding the recent Supreme Court judgment.
The Supreme Court had, on Friday, ruled that the Court of Appeal lacked jurisdiction over the internal affairs of the Labour Party.
