Labour Party Names Chibuzo Okereke as 2027 Candidate

On Thursday, the Labour Party ratified Dr. Chibuzo Okereke as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections during a meeting at the party's national headquarters in Utako, Abuja.

Okereke accepted his nomination and unveiled the 'Nigerians First' agenda, which aims to prioritize citizen welfare and restore public confidence in governance. He expressed gratitude to the party's leadership, particularly Governor Alex Otti of Abia State, for his mentorship and guidance.

Okereke emphasized that the Labour Party is the first choice for Nigerians and reiterated the party's commitment to democratic socialism, social justice, and equal opportunities. He articulated a vision that focuses on investing in the Nigerian people, building trust among citizens, and ensuring that governance serves the populace rather than political interests.

Okereke's agenda seeks to shift the focus of nationhood towards socio-economic development and citizen security, aiming to create a prosperous Nigeria where every citizen plays an active role in nation-building.
