Labour Party says Nigerians are the structure of the party for the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
In a statement signed by Julius Abure, the National Chairman, and the National Secretary of the party, Alhaji Umar Ibrahimi, on Friday. Said, the retreat was not only important but very critical for Labour Party in its resolve to deliver Nigeria as Nigerians were set to take back their country for the purpose of national rebirth.
During the party’s National Leadership Retreat in Abuja, the group noted that, “Across all regions and segments, the people are committed to breaking loose from the old order and ready to embrace a prospering one with the Labour Party as the platform of convergence and common vehicle for achieving it.
“The dispossessed and exploited people and masses of Nigeria are the structure of the party and should, therefore, be the focal point of the ongoing struggle of the party to rescue Nigeria.
“Labour Party shall urgently build synergy and rally all Nigerians to rescue Nigeria, especially with the widespread support Labour Party enjoys from the youth, women, Nigerian workers, labour and trade unions, and several voluntary support groups.’’
The party added that, “It is important to have an appraisal of the current state of Nigeria and highlight the inherent problems.
“This is so that Labour Party Leaders, stakeholders and candidates can engage and visit all support groups and stakeholders, including all NLC and TUC offices, women and youth organisations, and support groups, among others.’’
Abure also said that the ideas generated from the retreat would be of immense importance to Labour Party toward forging a cohesive front.
