Labour Party has described as commendable, the invitation of its interim National Chairman Senator Esther Nenadi Usman, to meeting of leaders of political parties with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Usman and the interim National Secretary, Senator Darlington Nwokocha, were among leaders of political parties who attended the Thursday’s meeting at INEC’s headquarters.
The party in a statement by Senior Special Adviser (Media) to the interim National Chairman, Ken Asogwa, said it was in recognition with the judgement of the Federal High Court delivered on January 21, 2026.
“The Labour Party commends INEC for the invitation extended to its leadership and for its commitment to upholding truth and justice.
“The party notes that while INEC had earlier complied with the judgement of the Federal High Court by publishing Senator Nenadi Usman and Senator Darlington Nwokocha’s names on its official portal, this singular invitation further affirms and accords full legitimacy to the current leadership of the party,” the statement added.
Labour Party also commended INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan, for his adherence to the rule of law, adding that as a minister in the temple of justice, “his leadership skills have proven him to be a round peg in a round hole.”
The party boasted that the crisis that previously rocked it has now been firmly laid to rest.
It commended its members and supporters for their patience, resilience, and unwavering faith in the party, and the media for their professionalism and courage in standing on the side of truth.
“The Labour Party reiterates its commitment to democratic values, internal cohesion, and constructive engagement with relevant stakeholders in the advancement of Nigeria’s democracy,” the statement added.
