A. Toro, among others, “reaffirmed the commitment to internal democracy, rule of law, and the supremacy of the Labour Party constitution.


“It warned against any parallel structures or activities inconsistent with these resolutions.”


The meeting ratified the Usman-led interim National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, and ordered the party’s national secretariat to publish the guidelines and timelines for the conduct of congresses from ward, local government, state and zonal levels, culminating to national convention.



It also announced the approval of the constitution of statutory committees to supervise membership revalidation and new member registration across the country.


“These committees shall work with the national secretariat, state chairmen, and relevant stakeholders to ensure credibility and inclusiveness.



“The national secretariat is mandated to publish the list and membership of the committees,” the communique added.


It called on party members and supporters “to close ranks, eschew divisive tendencies, and work together in unity to build a strong, people-oriented, and ideologically driven political movement capable of rescuing Nigeria.”
