The National Working Committee (NWC) of the New Nigeria
Peoples Party (NNPP) has refuted the purported suspension of Rabiu Kwankwaso,
the 2023 presidential candidate of the party.
The party’s national auditor, Ladipo Johnson, stated this at
a news conference on Wednesday at the NNPP national headquarters in Abuja.
Johnson, a former spokesperson for the Kwankwaso
Presidential Campaign Council, declared that the suspension was null and void.
A faction of the party, headed by its former Board of
Trustees (BoT) chairman, Boniface Aniebonan, suspended Kwankwaso on Tuesday for
six months over alleged anti-party activities after a parallel National
Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Lagos.
It also appointed the former National Publicity Secretary of
the party, Major Agbo, as the acting national chairman.
Johnson, however, said that Aniebonam and Agbo were
suspended for three months on Aug. 24 for engaging in unwholesome acts before
they were later expelled from the party.
He added that the party’s NEC, at its meeting on Tuesday in
Abuja monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), took
certain decisions, including the election of new national officials, the change
of the party’s logo, and the expulsion of Aniebonam and Agbo.
“Is it not funny that all those people either suspended or
expelled would gather somewhere and claim to have suspended Kwankwaso and also
dissolve the NWC?
“The jokers also appointed a CTC made up of those people who
have ceased to be members of the party by virtue of our constitution,” he
added.
