In a major development within the Labour Party, the National Executive Council (NEC) has announced the appointment of Senator Nenadi Usman as the party’s Interim National Chairman. Alongside her, Senator Darlington Nwokocha has been named as the Interim National Secretary.
The appointments were confirmed during a high-level emergency NEC meeting held on Thursday in Abuja, following ongoing internal restructuring efforts and preparations for upcoming national and state elections.
Senator Nenadi Usman, a seasoned politician and former Minister of Finance, brings years of administrative and legislative experience to the role. Her appointment is seen as a strategic move aimed at stabilizing the party’s leadership and positioning it for greater national impact.
Senator Darlington Nwokocha, a prominent figure from the South-East region and former Senate Minority Whip, is expected to play a key role in strengthening the party’s organizational structure and internal unity.
Party insiders say the appointments are temporary but necessary, following recent leadership disputes and legal battles that have threatened to derail the party’s momentum. The Labour Party has assured its members and supporters that these changes are part of broader reforms to reposition the party ahead of future political engagements.
In a joint statement, both newly appointed leaders pledged their commitment to unity, transparency, and grassroots mobilization. They called on party members nationwide to rally behind the interim leadership and work toward a stronger, more inclusive Labour Party
