The Labour Party has inaugurated a new leadership structure for its Adamawa State chapter, setting up a 14-member caretaker committee to steer the party’s affairs.
The committee was inaugurated on Wednesday in Yola by the Deputy National Chairman of the party, Bishop Esther Gulmu, who urged members to strictly adhere to the provisions of the party’s constitution in the discharge of their duties.
The newly constituted committee is chaired by Beatrice Benjamin.
In her acceptance speech, Beatrice described the emergence of the committee as “a child of necessity” aimed at uniting the party and restoring internal stability. She promised a smooth, purpose-driven transition that prioritises inclusivity and democratic values.
“We are here not to fight anyone but to build policy, advance advocacy, promote democracy and carry everyone along,” she said.
“Without you, I am not anybody, and without your support, I can’t go anywhere. I’m riding on your support and experience.”
The Labour Party in Adamawa has been plagued by prolonged internal crises, with the leadership of former chairman Nicholas Christopher repeatedly challenged by factions within the party.
The new committee is expected to stabilise the chapter pending the conduct of congresses and the emergence of substantive executives.
