The National Working Committee of the New Nigeria People’s Party, on Sunday, has condemned the recent visit of its former presidential candidate, Musa Kwankwaso, to Governor Alex Otti of Abia State.
At an emergency meeting held in Lagos, the NWC described Kwankwaso’s visit on the 9th of November as a “deceptive ploy” linked to a recent Abia State High Court ruling affecting the party’s internal structure.
The crisis rocking the NNPP deepened recently, with a faction of the party expelling Kwankwaso, the Kano State governor, Abba Yusuf and Kwankwasiya group members.
Also, there has been a crisis in the Kano State chapter of the party, with members reportedly asking the governor to stop the overbearing influence of the former presidential candidate of the party.
According to a statement issued by the NNPP National Publicity Secretary, Abdulrasalam Abdulrazaq, on Sunday, the party noted that Kwankwaso and his Kwankwasiya group members were expelled from the party, and any attempt by the expelled members to represent the national executive is an act of “irresponsibility and impersonation.”
The controversy was further heightened by the Abia State High Court ruling, which ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to transfer the party’s administration to the Board of Trustees, led by Boniface Aniebonam, in accordance with the NNPP’s 2022 constitution.
