Senator Esther Nenadi Usman has been appointed as the new Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the Labour party.
GWG.ng reports that the appointment of Usman as caretaker chairman took place during the stakeholders’ meeting of the Labour party held in Umuahia, Abia State capital, on Wednesday.
GWG.ng understands that Usman, a former Minister of Finance also represented Kaduna South senatorial district from 2011 to 2015.
Immediate-past Senate Minority Deputy Leader, Senator Darlington Nwokocha from Abia Central will now serve as the Secretary of the 29 member committee, expected to complete its assignment in 90 days.
The Caretaker Committee is to rescue the party from its current leadership crisis, and organize a convention where a new leadership of the party would emerge from the Ward to the national stage.
GWG notes that the presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi; his running mate, Datti Ahmed; Senator Victor Umeh; the party’s governorship candidate in Lagos State, Rhodes-Vivour, were among the party bigwigs present at the massively-attended meeting hosted by Gov. Alex Otti.Â
GWG.ng reports that the emergence of Senator Usman as the caretaker chairman of the Labour Party has been met with muted response from the Julius Abure leadership.
