Crisis has erupted in the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) as its National Working Committee (NWC) has announced the suspension of a founding member of the
The NWC said the suspension of Aniebonam and Major was with immediate effect pending the outcome of investigations by the Disciplinary Committee of the party.
Speaking at a press conference organised by the NNPP NWC, the acting National Chairman, Mallam Abba Kawu Alli, and the National Auditor, Oladipo Johnson, said the suspension followed unruly activities of the founding chairman of the party who allegedly felt the political platform was his personal estate.
“You will all recall that recent events regarding the repositioning of our party and the discipline or otherwise of some of our members led to the expulsion of 2 members of the party, the suspension of about 7 former state chairmen of our party, and the dissolution of the executive committees of 9 state chapters of the party.
“Unfortunately, Dr Boniface Aniebonam, one of the founders of our party has arrogated to himself the right to solely reverse decisions of the National Working Committee, even those decisions ratified and adopted by the National Executive Committee of the party! This is a situation that, as a responsible National Working Committee, we cannot permit to persist.
“In line with our constitution, we have today suspended Dr Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam and the National Publicity Secretary Dr. Agbo Major pending the determination of investigations by the Disciplinary Committee at the National Level of the Party.
