Usman noted that preparations for upcoming party congresses and other organisational activities would also form part of the discussions.
Earlier, the Youth Leader of the Labour Party in Kagarko, Mohammed Rabiu, who represented the chairman, reaffirmed the commitment of party youths in the area to support Usman’s leadership.
He said the purpose of the visit was to congratulate the national chairman and assure her of the unwavering support of party members from her home local government.
Rabiu explained that stakeholders considered it important to be among the first to visit and identify with her leadership because she hails from Kagarko and previously represented the area at the National Assembly of Nigeria.
He acknowledged that the party had previously faced internal challenges due to factional disagreements but noted that the situation had improved following a court decision affirming Usman’s leadership.
Also speaking, a party member from Kaduna State, Victor Nasara Makama, called on party leaders to set aside their differences and work together to strengthen the party.
Makama specifically appealed to Lamidi Apapa and Julius Abure to join hands with Usman in promoting unity and stability within the Labour Party.
