Senator Nenadi Usman, who chairs an interim faction of the Labour Party (LP), has stated that the current All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government has plunged Nigerians into a deeper state of poverty than any preceding administration in the nation’s history.
Speaking to reporters in Kafanchan, Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Usman described the level of economic hardship across the country as utterly “intolerable.”
Usman pledged the Labour Party’s firm commitment to rectifying what she termed the “profound errors and shortcomings” of the APC-led Federal Government.

She urged citizens to place their faith in the LP, assuring them that the party is dedicated to presenting a credible, populace-focused alternative aimed at rekindling hope and restoring national pride.
Addressing the recent trend of defections from the LP and other opposition groups to the ruling APC, Usman criticized the practice as not merely legally dubious but also morally indefensible.
She argued that it is improper for individuals to leverage one party’s platform to attain power only to switch allegiance after electoral success.
Despite these departures, Usman maintained that the LP remains resolute, drawing its resilience from the steadfast backing of the Nigerian populace.

“Many of those who left the party never truly believed in its vision for a new Nigeria,” Usman remarked.
“Their exit has only helped to clarify our ranks and strengthen our resolve.”
She appealed to all disaffected members to set aside their differences and work collaboratively towards unity, as the party prepares for upcoming membership revalidation exercises, congresses, and its national convention, all sanctioned by the National Executive Council (NEC).
