The Founder of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, has strongly condemned Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and Elder Buba Galadima, accusing them of struggling over a party that doesn’t belong to them.
“What is really wrong with Kwankwaso and Galadima and their quest to continue struggling over what does not belong to them?” Aniebonam questioned.
Aniebonam expressed disappointment over Kwankwaso’s actions, claiming he was given the presidential ticket for free in 2023 but has since attempted to hijack the party. “It is regrettable to note that Kwankwaso, whom I gave the NNPP presidential ticket for free in 2023, can descend to the level of lacking in morals and good conscience in the name of politics.”
Aniebonam highlighted that Kwankwaso’s delegation visited his home, seeking assistance to contest the 2023 presidential election on the NNPP platform. “Kwankwaso sent a delegation of highly respected Nigerians… seeking for assistance to enable him contest the presidential election on NNPP platform in 2023.”
He added: “We obliged him at no cost, only for him to take advantage of our platform and gave to members of his Kwankwasiya Movement, who contested other elections, at no cost.”
Aniebonam accused Kwankwaso of planning to hijack the party, changing its logo, color, and constitution without permission. “Kwankwaso went behind illegally to change the logo, colour and constitution of the NNPP to his advantage”.
“It is my belief that Kwankwaso may be carried away by greed, arrogance, inferiority complex and impunity to build on nothing”, Aniebonam said.
“NNPP shall come out stronger in 2027 as the party to watch despite the antics of Kwankwaso and his group”, he added.
