The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) is currently facing some internal challenges, including a leadership crisis with competing factions. The clarification by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ladipo Johnson, serves to address rumors about the suspension or expulsion of key members, notably Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. Johnson’s statement reinforces the party’s official line that the leadership recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), headed by Dr. Ajuji Ahmed, remains the legitimate authority.
It also appears that there’s some historical tension within the party, with disputes over authority—like Dr. Boniface Aniebonam’s efforts to override decisions made by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC)—playing a role in the current crisis. It’s certainly an interesting development in Nigerian politics, especially as the party navigates these internal divisions while trying to maintain its legitimacy.
Do you think these internal issues could impact the party’s future in the next elections?
