A termination letter, signed by the National Secretary of the party, Malam Umar Farouk, conveyed the decision to dissolve all appointments related to elections and campaigns formally.

The affected appointees include Mr. Mandela Ukegbu, who served as the Chairman of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Committee on Special Duties; Engineer Balami Isaac David, Senior Special Assistant on Presidential Campaign, Fund Raising, and Grassroot Mobilization; Didacus Joe-Adigwe, Senior Special Adviser on Strategy, Protocol, and International Relations; Princess Ajibola, Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties and Mobilization; and Isaac Imasuagbon, Senior Special Assistant on ICT.
