Malik Ado-Ibrahim, presidential candidate of the Young
Progressives Party (YPP), has been summoned by the party over the “slow
build-up” of his activities for the 2023 elections.
Egbeola Wale-Martins, YPP national secretary, disclosed this
on Sunday in a statement issued at the end of the party’s 20th national working
committee (NWC) meeting in Abuja.
Ado-Ibrahim became the party’s flag bearer in June 2022
after defeating Ruby Isaac.
In the statement, Wale-Martins said the party was displeased
at the slow build-up of political activities due to gaps in communication
between the presidential candidate and the appropriate organs of the party.
According to NAN, he said the NWC has acknowledged the
concerns of its members, supporters, and other critical stakeholders on the
poor visibility of the party and its presidential candidate.
“Having done so much hitherto to build a political capital
that should have made YPP the third force, the NWC therefore has directed the
national secretary to summon the presidential candidate, Prince Malik
Ado-Ibrahim, through official communication within 7-working days,” the
statement reads.
“He is to appear and address several issues, including but
not limited to his blueprint and a comprehensive campaign plan going into the
2023 presidential election, for the purpose of speedy harmonisation to avoid
working at cross purposes.
“It was also unanimously agreed that the outcome of the
proposed engagement would help the NWC to either embrace available strategies
aimed at covering lost grounds or take difficult informed steps in the interest
of the party, our members, and all Nigerians.”
The national secretary further said the NWC ratified the
expulsion of Matthew Namo, the suspended Nasarawa state chairman of the party,
for allegedly going incommunicado.
He added that in pursuit of justice, the NWC further
mandated the legal directorate to give necessary support to all aggrieved members.
He also urged candidates running for various positions on
the YPP platform to work in synergy with the party leadership across state,
local government, and ward levels.
