Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Two leading figures of the Labour Party, the 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Abia State governor, Alex Otti, have summoned a meeting of the National Executive Committee, NEC, of the party.<\/p>\n

The NEC meeting is scheduled to hold in Abuja on Wednesday, April 9, 2025.<\/p>\n

A notice issued by Obi and Otti said the NEC meeting will be followed concurrently by an interactive town hall engagement with major stakeholders and other organs of the party at Transcorp Hilton.<\/p>\n

The notice was signed by Ibrahim Umar, the POMR spokesman and forwarded.<\/p>\n

According to Umar, stakeholders listed to attend the meeting include the vice presidential candidate for the 2023 election, serving and former senators and senatorial candidates of the LP in the 2023 election, serving and former members of House of Representatives and LP House of Representatives candidates in 2023 election.<\/p>\n
