The stakeholders and members of the Labour Party (LP) said they have united themselves to pursue vigorously the conversion and registration of new members into the party at the right and designated time and also set a target of 400,000 members in Ebonyi State.

In a communique signed by Linus Okorie (Ebonyi South Senatorial Zone), Dr Ezeh Emmanuel Ezeh (Ebonyi North Senatorial Zone) and Emmanuel Nwobo (Central Senatorial Zone) at the end of the LP's expanded state-wide stakeholders briefing in Abakaliki, the stakeholders urged Nigerians to join the Labour Party to enthrone healthy leadership which would salvage the economy in the country.
They expressed confidence that only their presidential candidate during the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, has the solutions and competence to salvage the nation's economy.
They further urged Nigerians to identify with their quest to take power and move the nation to greater heights and said the Labour Party had made a plan to convert not less than 30 million Nigerians as new members of the party.

Linus Okorie and Dr. Ezeh Emmanuel Ezeh convened the stakeholders briefing to inform members of the Labour Party, Ebonyi State Chapter, about the future political activities of the emerging Labour Party, which include mobilization of new members and registration.
“The members of the NTC also shared details of the 2023 post-election reviews conducted by the national and state working committees of the party and consequently resolved as follows:
“That His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, remains the National Leader of the Party and he, Mr Obi, is bestowed with the appropriate competencies to salvage the Nigerian economy from its declining fortunes.
