Nenadi Usman Wants Peter Obi’s Glory Without Joining LP – Labour Party Fires Back

Labour Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, made this statement during an interview with Punch.

Usman’s membership of the party was called into question after she, alongside several other high-profile figures including Abia State Governor Alex Otti and Senator Ireti Kingibe, was suspended by the Abure-led National Working Committee for alleged involvement in anti-party activities.

Ifoh, in his interview, emphasized that it would be a violation of the party’s constitution to allow someone who is not even a “card-carrying member” to take charge of Labour Party’s operations. He criticized Usman as an imposter who had allied with the party’s opponents to undermine its interests.

He explained, “Anyone can make claims, but this woman (Usman) joined as part of the Obidient movement, working for Peter Obi. She headed Obi’s campaign in Kaduna, but there were issues as she never engaged fully with Labour Party members. She didn’t even think it necessary to register at her ward. Her name isn’t in our party register, and she didn’t take part in our revalidation exercise.”

Usman, however, refuted these claims, asserting that she was indeed a member of the Labour Party from Kagarko Local Government Area in Kaduna State. She argued that she had paid for the printing of membership cards and had even distributed them within her ward, where she remains a recognized member.
