The Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate, Dr Chibuzor Okereke, says the choice of Hajia Bintu Konto as his running mate in the 2027 presidential election was based on merit, competence and the need to ensure an inclusive government.
Okereke stated this while featuring on the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Personality Interview Series on Sunday in Abuja.
He described Labour Party as the only party with a female national chairman, female vice-presidential candidate, female legal adviser and female national organising secretary.
“The level of women representation in the party structure is a demonstration of the foundational principles and philosophy of Labour Party,” he said.
Okereke said it was the belief of the party that women should be given leadership opportunities and not suppressed.
