The leadership of the Caretaker Committee, Kaduna State Chapter of the Labour Party, on Saturday September, 28, 2024, maintained that the duo of Senator Datti Baba- Ahmed, the Presidential running mate to Peter Obi in the 2023 General Elections and Senator Nenadi Usman, its National Chairman Caretaker Committee, remains bonafide members of the Party.
This is even as it insisted that all efforts to distract the National leadership in its efforts to reposition the party will always hit the rock.
The Kaduna LP leadership’s position comes on the heels of the insistence by the immediate past leadership of the party in the State that Datti-Ahmed and Usman are not registered members of the Party.
A statement issued by the chapter’s interim spokesperson, Natty Auta, said the party has since made public the register and membership card of Senator Usman.
The Kaduna LP leadership, also, denied the existence of any cracks within the party, adding that it is merely transitioning from one leadership to another.
“We challenge the outgone Executive to provide the Ward Register of Datti Baba-Ahmed and Senator Nenadi Usman to substantiate their claims that these esteemed individuals and leaders of our great party are not registered members of the Labour Party .
“In contrast, we have submitted the register and membership card of Senator Nenadi Usman for public verification.
“It has come to our attention that the Kagarko Local Government Chairman ,Zaphaniah Yohanna, was contacted by the outgone Executive to verify Senator Nenadi Usman’s registration in her Ward.
“When he confirmed her registration, they pressured him to suspend her which he rightfully refused. This incident highlights their continued attempts to undermine legitimate party members”, the Kaduna LP Stated.
To this end, the interim leadership, has cautioned the outgone Barr. Julius Abure loyal Kaduna Executive to refrain from their orchestrated moves aim at blackmailing innocent party members.
According to the statement ,the Labour Party is not in anyway divided as some detractors would want unsuspecting members of the public to believe.
The LP spokesman, noted that the outgone executive had to leave following the expiry of its tenure in June this year .
However, Auta informed that it is the refusal by the former executive members to come to terms with this reality that is driving their attempt to disrupt the peace of the party.
“If they truly care about the party and its development, they should support initiatives like the fundraising event aimed at supporting our candidates in the forthcoming local council polls in the state” part of the statement reads
The party Spokesperson further berated the immediate past Executive Members for their lack of focus, and over-dependence on revenues from sale of nomination forms.
