This was disclosed in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, on Thursday.
The National Working Committee of the Labour Party, LP, has renamed its directorate.
LP had named it the “Obidient Directorate,” but was condemned by its Presidential flagbearer in the 2023 election, Peter Obi over the choice of name.
The renaming was confirmed in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, on Thursday.
According to him, the Obidient Directorate will now be known and referred to as the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration.
Ifoh said, “Following the controversies arising from the creation of the Directorate of Obidient Affairs, in the party, the directorate is hereby renamed the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration.
“The inauguration will take place on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at the party’s National Secretariat, Utako, Abuja, by 10 a.m. Party members and the general public should take note.”
