“NNPP Explodes: ‘Stop Dragging Our Party Into Your Falsehood!’”

Published

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has firmly rejected claims made by the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of orchestrating attacks on opposition parties and members of the recently formed coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to NIVONEWS, the NNPP, in a statement issued on Wednesday, July 9, by its National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Ogini Olaposi, warned ADC’s interim National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, to desist from dragging the NNPP into his party’s political entanglements and speculative narratives.

Reacting to Abdullahi’s recent comments during media engagements, Olaposi clarified that the NNPP has no involvement or affiliation with the ADC-led coalition and should not be referenced in its allegations against the APC or the federal government.
“Abdullahi should exclude NNPP from the unfounded assertion that the APC is sponsoring attacks on opposition parties. It is baffling to our members how he arrived at such a conclusion when he is not part of our party,” Olaposi stated.

He added that if Abdullahi hadn’t brought up the NNPP publicly, the party would have disregarded the accusations entirely.

NNPP: Our Crisis Is Internal, Not Tinubu’s Doing

Addressing the internal crisis within its own ranks, the NNPP clarified that its leadership challenges are self-inflicted and have no connection to President Bola Tinubu or the APC. According to NIVONEWS, the party blamed the internal turmoil on Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and his loyalists.

“Whether Kwankwaso joins the coalition or not does not imply NNPP’s membership in any such alliance. We are not part of any coalition, and they do not speak on our behalf. Our issues are internal and should not be linked to the ruling party,” the statement noted.

The NNPP emphasized that it sees no justification for blaming the APC for its internal divisions.
“Our internal conflict, like those faced by other political parties, arose from a betrayal of trust by the Kwankwasiyya Movement, even after the expiration of the MoU for the 2022 presidential election,” Olaposi added.

‘We Are Not an Opposition Party’

The NNPP further rejected the conventional label of being an “opposition party,” describing itself instead as a “responsible partner” among the country’s registered political entities under the supervision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

According to NIVONEWS, the party said: “We do not subscribe to the use of ‘opposition’ in the Nigerian political context. We are responsible partners with sister parties—hence, the existence of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC).”

It also criticised the prevalent habit of resorting to litigation over disputes that could be settled internally. “Politicians create constitutions but still run to the courts to interpret them. Even when advised by judges to resolve matters in-house, they refuse, leaving the door open for legal practitioners to profit from their chaos,” the party lamented.

No Room for Political Gang-Ups

Concluding its statement, the NNPP sent a strong message to the ADC-led coalition: its platform is not available for any political gang-up against rival parties.
“To the architects of this so-called coalition, please be informed that NNPP is not to be deceived or co-opted into any political ambush. We are a registered national political party with the aim of contesting elections—not ganging up against fellow parties,” the statement warned.

The NNPP reaffirmed its independence and commitment to issue-based politics and called on all political actors to strengthen their internal systems rather than shift blame for their internal dysfunctions.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
