NNPP State Chairmen take action against Kwankwaso and NWC for their relationship with the APC.

By: Peace Adisa

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) state chairmen, who are outraged, have denounced the purported covert actions taken by Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, the party’s former presidential candidate, to seize control of the party’s machinery from Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, the party’s founder. 

Comrade Olayinka Dada, the party’s Ekiti State Chairman, briefed reporters in Ado-Ekiti and accused the NWC members of using themselves as free tools in Kwakwanso’s hands to harm the party’s overall interests.

He made a suggestion that the NNPP leaders from 10 States had voted against the members of the Abba Kawu-led National Working Committee (NWC) because they were reportedly conspiring with Kwankwaso to carry out their evil scheme.

He declared that they had rejected the NWC leadership because they had failed to run the party’s affairs effectively, and he voiced shock over what he called Kwankwaso’s desperation in dismantling the political party that had once provided him and his foot soldiers with a fortress in the most recent election.

Dada, who also serves as the spokesperson for the Forum of NNDP State Chairmen, claimed that the party started to have doubts when Kwankwaso hurriedly met in secret with the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate and election winner Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in France days after the vote, even as other serious political parties were gathering evidence of electoral fraud to contest the results as announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He claimed that Kwankwaso’s one action, along with other injustices noted before to, during, and following the Presidential election, proved that he had sold out.

In addition to others, the state chairmen include those of Ekiti, Enugu, Rivers, Zamfara, Kastina, Kaduna, and Niger.

Dada pointed out that Kwankwaso’s internal sabotage, selfishness, greed, and insincerity, as well as some undemocratic forces inside the party, were to blame for the party’s poor result during the general election.

He also disregarded the NWC’s decision to suspend the seven state chairmen and dissolve the party’s entire leadership, from the ward to the state levels, calling it an egregious illegality that couldn’t stand.

Due to the blatant illegality and unconstitutional choices made by the NWC of our party, the NNPP is mired in an intra-party crisis.

I want to let everyone know that Kwankwaso created this crisis to take over party structures when he was questioned about his anti-party activities.

These anti-party activities were a result of the scandalous relationship with Tinubu. The performance of the party during the general election was significantly impacted by this relationship.

“Today, it’s clear that the renter has now come after the landlord, but the state chairmen have decided to never let the tenant live in our own home. The plan to install an unauthorized caretaker panel across the 10 States is known to us.

“We won’t permit anyone to exchange the combined sweat of the party’s members for personal gain. We pledge to use all legal methods at our disposal to protect the party’s honor,” he stated.

Dada emphasized that the executives in the seven states would continue to fulfill their legal obligations in accordance with the operative party’s legal framework and that they still had constitutional standing.

Adding that the NWC lacks the authority to dissolve executives because it was created illegally, he claimed that the alleged dissolution was an outright violation of the party constitution.

He urged party members to remain steadfast and not be dissuaded by the ‘devious antics’ of some suspected anti-democratic elements who want to create disorder and then take over the party.
