 Usman Emerges Labour Party National Chairman, Makes History as First Woman to Lead Party


The Labour Party on Tuesday elected Nenadi Usman as its National Chairman at the party’s national convention held in Umuahia, Abia State.


With her emergence, Usman becomes the first woman to be elected National Chairman of a political party in Nigeria.


Usman had previously been appointed to head the party’s National Caretaker Committee on September 4, 2024, during a National Executive Committee meeting in Umuahia, following a leadership vacuum created by the expiration of the tenure of the former National Working Committee.


She led the party through a period of internal disputes, with her leadership later affirmed by both the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal in rulings delivered in January and April 2026 respectively.


Prior to the convention, the Independent National Electoral Commission had recognised her as Chairman of the party’s caretaker committee in line with the court judgements.


A former Minister of Finance and senator, Usman is expected to steer the party as it prepares for the 2027 general elections, building on its performance in the 2023 polls.


In her acceptance speech, Usman thanked party members for their support and pledged to reposition the party for greater success. She also assured members of her commitment to unity, peace and reconciliation within the party.


She commended the Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, for his support and pledged not to disappoint party faithful.


Speaking at the event, Otti urged the newly elected National Working Committee to provide purposeful leadership and strengthen the party’s structures across the country.


Other members elected into the National Working Committee include Iheanacho Obioma as National Secretary; Nike Oriola as Deputy National Chairman; Ken Eluma Asogwa as National Publicity Secretary; Oluchi Oparah as National Organising Secretary; Anslem Eragbe as National Financial Secretary; and Hilda Dokubo as National Women Leader.


The newly elected National Working Committee was subsequently sworn in at the convention.
