The Labour Party has been embroiled in a leadership crisis, with members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) disrupting a National Working Committee (NWC) meeting at the party's headquarters. Peter Obi, the Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate, was present at the meeting and addressed the labour leaders outside the secretariat. Obi emphasized his intention to reconcile all aggrieved party members and stressed the need for unity, stating that "their reconciliation is all about our party." The former presidential candidate appealed for calm and promised to facilitate a reconciliation meeting to address the ongoing issues within the Labour Party. Obi's intervention aims to restore stability and unity within the party as it navigates through this challenging period.
