The Labour Party (LP) faction led by Julius Abure says all its tickets ahead of the 2027 general election are open to all qualified Nigerians to contest for.

The faction took the decision after it held a national executive committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja on Monday. “NEC in session also reviewed the decision of the National Convention to reserve its Presidential and Governorship tickets for Peter Gregory Obi and Alex Otti respectively,” a communique from the meeting reads.

Consequently, all tickets of the party from Presidency to the House of assemblies are open to all qualified Nigerians.”

The faction said Alex Otti, governor of Abia state, did not have the power to convene a stakeholders’ meeting that produced a caretaker committee led by Nenadi Usman, a former senator.
