Crisis Rocks Peter Obi's LP Faction as BoT Dissolves Usman-led NWC

A significant leadership crisis has emerged within Peter Obi's LP faction as the Board of Trustees (BoT) dissolved the Nenadi Usman-led National Working Committee (NWC). The dissolution has deepened the struggle for control of the party structure, particularly among factions associated with Peter Obi and Abia State Governor Alex Otti.

The BoT cited gross incompetence and failure to organize congresses as reasons for the dissolution. The party has appointed a new interim NWC to navigate the internal turmoil and prepare for the 2027 general elections.

However, there are disputes over the legitimacy of the dissolution, setting the stage for potential legal and political battles.
