Labour Party faction suspends Abia governor, Nwokocha, others

On May 7, 2025, the Labour Party's National Executive Committee indefinitely suspended Governor Alex Otti, Senators Ireti Kingibe and Darlington Nwokocha, and three others for alleged anti-party activities.
The suspensions followed a disciplinary investigation initiated by a five-man committee led by Deputy National Chairman Dr. Ayo Olorunfemi that examined the alleged misconduct of the suspended members.
The party ratified the committee’s recommendations after exhaustive deliberations under constitutional powers, while excluding Nenadi Usman from sanctions as she is not a registered Labour Party member.
Labour Party National Secretary Umar Farouk Ibrahim announced that the party's audited financial records received a clean report from INEC auditors and reaffirmed the party’s stance against coalitions before the 2027 elections.
The suspensions bar the affected individuals from party activities and confirm Labour Party’s intention to contest the 2027 elections independently without alliances or mergers.
