The Labour Party (LP) has unveiled a detailed strategy to rebuild its strength and establish itself as a dominant force in Nigerian politics.
The initiative, called “Operation Recover and Redeem,” is designed to tackle internal challenges and reposition the party for success in the 2027 general elections.
A key objective of the plan is to unseat Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is expected to seek re-election.
According to Apagun Olaolu Samuel, the party’s interim chairman in Ogun State, the strategy includes organizing a nationwide congress that will pave the way for a legitimate and all-inclusive national convention.
Additionally, the party intends to introduce legal and structural measures to prevent manipulations and external interferences that have hindered its growth and core values.
He said, “As part of the “Recover and Redeem” strategy, the Labour Party has resolved to launch a nationwide congress, leading to a legitimate and all-inclusive national convention. This move aims to restore the party’s integrity, protect its human capital, and rebuild its image ahead of the 2027 general elections.”
“The party, also said it will implement legal and organisational measures to counteract manipulations and external influences that have undermined its values and progress”.
“We are committed to recovering our party from those who have hijacked it and restoring its integrity,”.
“We urge all our members to remain steadfast and committed to this process, as we work towards rebuilding the Labour Party into a formidable force for the 2027 elections.”
Peter Obi, who was the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in 2023, lost to Tinubu but has remained a popular opposition figure in the country.
He is expected to run again under the platform.
