Abuja, March 15, ’25 (TNZ) The Labour Party (LP) leadership has constituted a three-man truce committee to mend the relationship with its members in the National Assembly.

Mr Ben Etanabene is the committee chairman with Mathew Nworgu and Chinedu Obika as members.
While inaugurating the committee, the party’s National Chairman, Mr Julius Abure urged members to liaise with the LP legislators in both chambers of the national assembly.

“There is a need for all our members to be on the same page with the party leadership.
“You are our ambassadors at the national assembly and we are proud of some of you and the values you are exhibiting.
“But we think there are still some gaps to plug, hence the urgency for this assignment,’’ TheNewsZenith quotes Abure as saying.
Responding, Etanabene pledged that the committee would take the assignment seriously.
TheNewsZenith recall that some LP members in the national assembly recently defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Four LP legislators in the House of Representatives in one sitting, defected to APC, citing the crisis in the party as reason for their action.
They are Akiba Bassey (Calabar Municipal/Odukpani), Chinedu Okere (Owerri Municipal/Owerri North/Owerri West), Esosa Iyawe (Oredo) and Mathew Donatus (Kaura). (TNZ)
