LP: E-Registration Committee Chair Submits Progress Report

The Deputy Governor of Abia State and Chairman of the National Steering Committee on Membership Revalidation and E-Registration of the Labour Party, Mr. Ikechukwu Emetu, has submitted the committee’s progress report to the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), outlining notable achievements recorded since the exercise began in December.

Presenting the report at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja, Mr. Emetu conveyed the goodwill of the Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, who he said was unavoidably absent.
Addressing party leaders, stakeholders and members of the media, the Deputy Governor commended members of the steering committee for their commitment, describing the revalidation and e-registration exercise as a critical component of the party’s institutional strengthening.
He disclosed that millions of registrations have been recorded nationwide within a short period, adding that the electronic registration exercise is still ongoing.
According to him, the initiative is designed to establish a credible, transparent and verifiable membership database that will enhance internal democracy and support strategic planning ahead of future elections.
“Our e-registration is ongoing, and we encourage Nigerians to key into the Labour Party. This process is about rebuilding our structures and consolidating our membership base across the country,” he said.
Mr. Emetu explained that the exercise forms part of broader reforms aimed at strengthening the party’s governance capacity and policy credibility.
He also cited developments in Abia State, noting that the Labour Party-led administration has shown that campaign promises can be translated into tangible governance outcomes.
“Since 1999, Nigerians have heard many promises. What we are demonstrating in Abia is that governance can go beyond rhetoric to practical delivery. Nigeria can work,” he stated.
He expressed gratitude to Nigerians for their support during the party’s recent legal challenges and reaffirmed the Labour Party’s commitment to inclusive participation and democratic consolidation.
Looking ahead to the 2027 general elections, the Deputy Governor said the party intends to broaden its political footprint across states, the National Assembly and state legislatures through structured membership expansion and policy-driven engagement.
He urged stakeholders to work together to build what he described as “a Labour Party for all Nigerians,” founded on transparency and accountability.
In her remarks, the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Senator Nanadi Usman, assured party faithful of the leadership’s resolve to strengthen and reposition the party nationwide.
She described the occasion as historic, noting that it was the first major gathering at the National Secretariat since the Supreme Court judgment of April 4 last year.
Senator Usman acknowledged that the party’s transition process took longer than anticipated but stressed that patience and perseverance ultimately paid off.
She commended the steering committee for its efforts and thanked party supporters across the country for their prayers and encouragement.
The National Chairman also dismissed reports of internal divisions, recalling that party and labour leaders recently met at a special event in Umuahia, and emphasized that the Labour Party remains united, focused and committed to its reform agenda.
