Ahead of the 2027 general election, one of the leading opposition parties in the country, Labour Party (LP) has rallied grassroots youth leaders to strengthen their unity and collaboration to drive the required change in the country.
The Director General of Labour Party Directorate of Mobilization and Integration, Marcel Ngogbehei while addressing the Labour Party National Youth Leaders Conference charged the youth on unity of purpose to bring about positive change in the country.
Ngogbehei emphasised the importance of unity and collaboration among the youth especially in the grassroots.
“It is an honour to address this gathering of dedicated and passionate young leaders who represent the future of our political movement. The energy, creativity, and commitment you bring to our party are not only inspiring but essential as we work to build a stronger and more inclusive Labour Party and Nigeria.
“Our nation is at a pivotal point, and your role as youth leaders cannot be understated. You are not just the voice of tomorrow—you are the force of today.
“Your involvement, your ideas, and your actions are shaping the political landscape, bringing fresh perspectives and the courage to challenge the status quo. We must ensure that the concerns, aspirations, and visions of young people are not only heard but are central to our policies and strategies”, he stated.
He said in a world that is increasingly divided, the strength of the masses lies in their ability to mobilise and integrate every voice within our diverse society.
He told the youth that their leadership at the grassroots level is crucial in fostering unity in the country and it is through their efforts that the political stakeholders can bring about the inclusive change required and bridge the gaps between different stakeholders and communities.
Ngogbehei, however, expressed the commitment of the Directorate to supporting the youth leaders through training and provision of working tools and the platforms needed for advocacy.
“Our Directorate is committed to supporting you in every way possible, providing the tools, training, and platforms needed for effective engagement and advocacy.
“We understand the challenges you face and are dedicated to ensuring that the political space remains accessible, inclusive, and fair for all.
“This conference is an opportunity not just to learn from each other but to strategise collectively. Let’s develop solutions that address the pressing challenges our country faces—security, power, cost of living, economic empowerment, quality education, sustainable development, and good governance.
“The time for meaningful action is now, and I have full confidence that you will rise to the occasion.
“I encourage you to use this platform to build networks, strengthen alliances, and reinforce our shared values. Together, we will harness the potential of our youth to drive positive change, uphold democratic principles, and create a future where opportunity and justice are available for all.
“Our Party is forever looking forward, and we’ll not stop until we leverage the powers available in Aso Rock through a Labour Party Presidency in 2027 to ensure our people are safe and prosperous,” he added.
