The Labour Party (LP) has vowed to wrestle the presidency from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027 when next the general election takes place in Nigeria.
LP made this vow on Wednesday, saying it would continue its push for the presidency by not relenting in strengthening unity and collaboration within the party to drive the needed change in Nigeria.
The party further said it would not stop until it leveraged the powers available in Aso Rock through an LP presidency in 2027 to ensure that Nigerians are safe and prosperous.
The Director General of LP Directorate of Mobilization and Integration, Marcel Ngogbehei stated this while addressing the Labour Party National Youth Leaders Conference.
Ngogbehei in his address also charged the youth with unity of purpose to bring about positive change in the country.
He further emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration among the youth especially in the grassroots.
“It is an honor to address this gathering of dedicated and passionate young leaders who represent the future of our political movement. The energy, creativity, and commitment you bring to our party are not only inspiring but essential as we work to build a stronger and more inclusive Labour Party and Nigeria.
“Our nation is at a pivotal point, and your role as youth leaders cannot be understated. You are not just the voice of tomorrow—you are the force of today.
“Your involvement, your ideas, and your actions are shaping the political landscape, bringing fresh perspectives and the courage to challenge the status quo. We must ensure that the concerns, aspirations, and visions of young people are not only heard but are central to our policies and strategies.”
He told the youth that their leadership at the grassroots level is crucial in fostering unity in the country and it is through their efforts that the political stakeholders can bring about the inclusive change required and bridge the gaps between different stakeholders and communities.
Ngogbehei, however, expressed the commitment of the Directorate to supporting the youth leaders through training and the provision of working tools and the platforms needed for advocacy.
