The Founder of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Dr Boniface Aniebonam, says members of the party are not part of Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso’s planned defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Aniebonam made this known in a statement on Sunday in Lagos.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Kwankwaso, in a statement on Sunday, formally announced his resignation from the NNPP with immediate effect.
He said: “I seize this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for the honour and privilege of serving as the NNPP 2023 presidential candidate.
“As a committed and bona fide member of the party, this was not an easy decision to make.”
According to Kwankwaso, considering the current trajectory of the nation’s political landscape, which calls for strategic realignment, he found it necessary to identify with another political platform that offers the best opportunity to effectively change the nation.
Kwankwaso will be officially joining the ADC on Monday, March 30.
In a memo on Saturday, Dr Ahmed Ajuji, NNPP former national chairman and member of the Kwankwasiya Movement, urged NNPP National Working Committee members, state chairmen, as well as all party office holders from national to ward levels, to remain in their respective positions and continue their work within the party.
Ajuji had said that except for those who wished to resign and pursue other political careers, others should remain in the NNPP as there are moves to unify the party and withdraw all litigations.
Aniebonam said that in spite of wishing Kwankwaso good luck in his endeavors, the NNPP would not be his fallback party if he failed in the ADC.
He said: “We are not joining ADC, most of our members in Kano state went to APC. Only members of the Kwankwasiya movement left may join their leader to the ADC.
