Professor Theophilus Ndubuaku, National Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Political Commission, has praised Senator Nenadi Usman as a person of integrity, capable of leading the Labour Party (LP) as its Caretaker Committee Chairperson.

In an interview with Vanguard, Ndubuaku explained that Usman’s appointment was a collective decision involving all stakeholders, including the party’s Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Governor Alex Otti. He debunked claims that the NLC had given conditions for recognizing the Caretaker Committee, stating that they were consulted and happy with the development.

Ndubuaku emphasized that the NLC supports democratic processes and believes in giving everyone an opportunity to contest elections. He expressed confidence in Usman’s ability to bring a motherly approach to resolving party differences and repositioning the party.

The NLC Chairman noted that the party’s success in winning Lagos and Abuja indicates its potential for growth, and he expects all stakeholders to rally around the new leadership. He emphasized that Usman’s integrity and leadership skills make her the right person to lead the party’s repositioning efforts.”
