The Labour Party (LP) has appointed a former finance minister, Nenadi Usman as the chairman of its 29-member national caretaker committee.
Daniel Gambo, a member of the national transition committee established by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), confirmed this on Wednesday.
Usman was nominated during an LP stakeholders meeting at the Banquet Hall of the Abia Government House in Umuahia, convened by Alex Otti, the governor of Abia State.

“The stakeholders met at the Banquet hall of Abia state government house during which Hon. Senator Nenadi Usman was unanimously nominated to chair the newly constituted LP caretaker committee to see to the conduct of state congresses and the all inclusive national convention,” Gambo said.
“The secretary is Hon Darlington Onwokocha. The house endorsed the constitution of a 29-member committee drawn from the senate, house of representatives, the six geopolitical zones, NLC and TUC.”
In attendance at the meeting were Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate in 2023, and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, among others.
Julius Abure and Callistus Okafor, the factional chairmen of the party, had previously dismissed calls for a stakeholders meeting, labeling it as illegal.
Okafor alleged that certain unnamed individuals were leveraging the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to advance their “selfish interests.”
