Sequel to widespread criticism regarding the naming and structure of the “Obidient Directorate,” the Labour Party (LP) has announced a change.
The National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, revealed the decision in a concise statement from Abuja on Thursday.
Ifoh stated that the "Obidient Directorate" will now be called the "Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration."
"Following the controversies arising from the creation of the Directorate of OBIDIENT Affairs within the party, the Directorate is hereby renamed the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration," Ifoh explained. "The inauguration will take place on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at the party’s National Secretariat, Utako, Abuja, by 10 a.m. Party members and the general public should take note."
This decision comes after significant backlash from over 200 support groups within the Obidient Movement. These groups had criticized the LP leadership for establishing the directorate and appointing certain individuals as directors, accusing the National Working Committee (NWC) under Comrade Julius Abure of attempting to undermine the movement's autonomy.
