The Interim National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Nenadi Usman, has asserted that the party is the strongest among all other political parties in the country.
themomentng reports that Usman made this statement on Monday during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ programme.
According to Usman, the Labour Party is the only party with institutional members such as the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
Usman noted that the party’s structure failed to work during the 2023 general election because the NLC and the TUC were not carried along.
The LP chieftain added that party membership e-registration is the Labour Party’s brainchild, even though other parties are now doing the same.
She said, “The Labour Party is the only party that has institutional members like the TUC and NLC. There is no polling unit you can go to that won’t have teachers, nurses, or retired civil servants.
“So if you use that structure, the Labour Party should be the strongest in Nigeria if you know what you are doing.
“Why this didn’t work out in the 2023 general elections is that the NLC and the TUC were not carried along as they should have been because if they had been made polling agents as we had them in every polling unit, we wouldn’t have run into the problem we rant into.”
