The Labour Party has gone through a leadership crisis which paralysed its activities following disagreements between its former National Chairman, Governor Alex Otti of Abia State, its Presidential Candidate in the 2023 Election, Peter Obi, and members of his Obidients Movement.
The newly announced congress and Convention are expected to pave the way for the election of executives across the country and emergence candidates for all elective positions across the country.
