The New Nigeria People's Party has opened up on the status of Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf and Rabiu Kwankwaso within the party. According to Ladipo Johnson, the National Publicity Secretary of the NNPP, both Yusuf and Kwankwaso remain members of the party.In an interview with News Central on Monday, Johnson said that only the Ajuji Ahmed-led faction, recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission , has the authority to speak for the party.
A party recognized by the Constitution and the Electoral Act must be one as registered by INEC, right? So they’re not a party, but group, whatever you want to call them.“Dr. Boniface Aniebonam was one of the founders of NNPP. Kwankwaso, Bubagaladim, Ladipo Johnson, et cetera, joined only in 2022. One year before 2023 elections, issues started. We got to a stage where Dr. Aniebonam now said, I am the founder and I’m overruling decisions of NEC or National Working Committee.
