LP will usher in new Nigeria, says Delta group

The Delta State chapter of the Obidient Elders’ Council has said that the appointment of Senator Esther Usman as chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the Labour Party will midwife a new Nigeria of our dream.

The group in a statement signed by its chairman and secretary, Dr. Chris Biose and Chief Solomon Akeni respectively, told South-South PUNCH on Tuesday in Asaba, the Delta State capital that the new Caretaker Committee chairman of the party is an experienced politician.

The statement said, “On behalf of officers and the entire members of Delta State Obidient Elders’ Council and Obidients in Delta State, we wish to congratulate the chairman most heartily on your well-merited appointment as Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the Labour Party.

“At the duly convened National Executive Committee/Extended Stakeholders Meeting of the party held at Umuahia, Abia State on September 4, 2024, we recognise that the primary assignment of conducting ward, local government and state congresses, as well as National Convention of the Labour Party, is of historic significance as the new Labour Party will be responsible for midwifing the new Nigeria of our dream.

“We are confident that your vast experience as former Minister of Finance and distinguished senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria will stand the Chairman in good stead in leading the 29-man team to achieve the set objectives of our party.

“We wish them resounding success in this assignment and assure you of the full cooperation and assistance of Obidients in Delta State, which constitutes the bulk of supporters of the Labour Party in the state.”

They urged Obidients in other states to support the committee to deliver on its new assignment.
