Party Chairmen Accuse Kwankwaso of Masterminding Crisis in NNPP

The Forum of State Chairmen of New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has alleged that its presidential candidate in the last general election, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has been involved in anti-party activities.  The chairmen have therefore,  advised  Kwankaso to resign his membership of the party or risk suspension.

The party chairmen demanded an open explanations of what they described as  “unhealthy relationship between Kwankwaso and the All Progressives Congress (APC) during and after the general election.”

The forum in a statement by its chairman and leader, Comrade  Sunday Oginni, accused Kwankwaso of allegedly masterminding crisis in NNPP across the country in a move to hijack the party from the original owner and founding members.

Oginni insisted that Kwankwaso was only using the platform of NNPP to allegedly negotiate himself back into Nigeria’s political scene.

He stressed that Kwankwaso’s frequent meetings with President Bola Tinubu is an act of anti-party activities that the party chairmen are against.

He added that the NNPP chairmen discovered that Kwankwaso, in collaboration with his group, has allegedly amended the constitution of the party to help in their attempt to hijack the party’s structure.

The statement read in part: “In the same vein, the recent unconstitutional and purported dissolution of seven states executives of Ekiti, Enugu, Niger, Kaduna Katsina, Rivers and Zamfara from State and Local to the ward levels at the same time is unacceptable.

“It’s on record that neither Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso nor any of his cohorts at the NWC committed a dime to the building of structures of the party they are not ashamed to demolish within a twinkle of an eye. The empty threat of NWC coming in later days for the jugular of Imo and Oyo State shall not see the light of the day.

“Also, the arrogant display of executive lawlessness by the NWC in Ogun State chapter of NNPP has led to protracted litigation that may lingered to Supreme Court .

“The illegality of the arbitrary sacking of democratically elected officers of the party by Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s NWC acting like a garrison commander is an heinous crime against democracy and humanity. This is New Nigeria.. Thus illegality and brazen murder of democracy shall not stand in NNPP.

“The hidden truth is revealing Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is the one behind all these unconstitutional actions of the NWC.

“It’s on record that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso instructed the uploading of names that never participated in party primaries during the last Governorship Election.

“For instance, in Ogun State, it was Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso who ordered that the name of Madam Jackie Kazeem be uploaded into INEC Server despite the fact that, the woman did not participate in any primaries. This High sense of deceit and insincerity on the part of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso was the genesis of Ogun State Chapter crisis.

“However, we are of great prayer that this unconstitutional action and insincerity will not cost NNPP the gubernatorial victory secured in Kano State as this illegalitytis now being challenged at the Tribunal.

“The recent verdict of Kogi State where the court ordered that the name of candidate submitted by the NNPP NWC was violation of Electoral Act is shameful enough for the acting chairman, and the National Secretary, Mr. Oladipo Olayoku to resign immediately from office.”

Oginni, however, accused Kwankwaso of breaching the agreement on the Memorandum of Understanding he signed with the Founder and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam.

He added: “The antics of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as a selfish and desperate politician is well known to Nigerians. The most reason why he was unable to stay in PDP or APC is that of selfishness and personal ego. We hereby advise him to voluntarily leave us alone in NNPP or suffer an indefinite suspension.

“Consequently, all the actions of the illegal acting National Chairman and that of the Secretary are null and void.

“We therefore, advise the illegal acting national chairman and the Secretary Oladipupo Olayoku, having been accused of unimaginable corruption and excessive abuse of office to voluntarily resign or face embarrassment of indefinite suspension.

“The Forum of State Chairmen of NNPP  is hereby using this forum to call on the founder of this great party Dr . Boniface Aniebonam to rise up to the occasion by making sure that he revokes the Memorandum of Understanding having been breached by Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and bring back our party.

“We are using this opportunity to appeal to Nigerians to be patient and prayerful for the emergence of new Nigeria of our collective dreams.”
