Senator Esther Nenadi Usman has emerged as the chairman of the Labour Party’s caretaker committee, News About Nigeria reports.
The Party, in its extended stakeholders meeting held in Umuahia, Abia State capital, appointed the Senator chairman of the committee.
Usman, a former Minister of Finance, represented Kaduna South senatorial district from 2011 to 2015.
Immediate-past Senate Minority Deputy Leader, Senator Darlington Nwokocha from Abia Central, will serve as the Secretary of the 29-member committee, expected to complete its assignment in 90 days.
The Caretaker Committee is to rescue the party from its current leadership crisis and organise a convention where a new leadership of the party would emerge from the Ward to the national stage.
The meeting was attended by several big shots of the party, which was hosted by Gov. Alex Otti, including the 2023 presidential candidate of LP, Peter Obi; his running mate, Datti Ahmed; Senator Victor Umeh; and Lagos State governorship candidate of LP in 2023, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.
