The creation of a few party communities, including as the State Elders Council, Political Education Committee, and Electoral Reform Committee, was also authorised by the LP NEC.
“We note that the Labour Party is a major victim in the 2023 general election and will therefore pursue electoral reform in Nigeria,” stated Barrister Julius Abure, National Chairman of the Labour Party, in reference to the necessity of the establishment of the Electoral change Committee.
“And for us to have credible, proactive leaders that will work in the interest of the people, the processes leading to the selection of these candidates must be credible, fair and transparent.
“This committee will be chaired by Hon. Benedict Etanabene while Hon. Okey Joe will be the co-chair. Dudu Manuga will act as Secretary. The committee has eight weeks to submit its report.”

Speaking on the Political Education Committee, Abure, added, “Before and during the 2023 general election, we had this understanding that leadership alone was the major challenge of this country.
“There is therefore the need to reorient the people and for the people to begin to change their attitude and behaviors. There is also the need for the people to be the catalyst for growth and development.
“We have therefore appointed Rt Hon Ativie Elizabeth, former Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly, as the chairman and Mr. Bulus Maisamari as the secretary of the Political Education Committee respectively.
“Other members of this committee will be announced in due course.”
