The Labour Party has appointed a team of eight individuals to oversee the newly established ‘Obidient’ Directorate.
This move is part of the party’s strategy to incorporate millions of Nigerian youths, especially those aligned with the ‘Obidient’ movement, into the broader Labour Party framework.

The appointees are Mr. Marcel Ngogbehei as Director; Amb. AJU Elumelu as Deputy Director (Diaspora); Mrs. Mariam Ismaila as Deputy Director; Mr. Chukwuemeka Gerald Okafor as Deputy Director; Mrs. Angel Innocent as Deputy Director; Mr. Tony Ashekomeh Jnr as Deputy Director; Mr. Emeka Ezechi as Deputy Director; and Mr. Josiah Omenuwoma as Deputy Director.
In a statement on Thursday, the Labour Party National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, outlined the directorate’s responsibilities.
These include registering members of the ‘Obidient’ community and integrating them into the party structure, facilitating diaspora participation, handling complaints, and ensuring all members are financially contributing to the party.
Additionally, the directorate will work with national leaders to create programs that fully assimilate ‘Obidient’ members into the party.
The directorate’s inauguration is scheduled for June 6, 2024, at the NEC Hall, National Secretariat, Utako, Abuja.
Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, was the Labour Party’s candidate in the 2023 presidential election.
