The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) condemned the allegation levied against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) it’s fueling the crisis in the party.
The allegation was levied by the former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El’Rufai. by caused its crisis is false and condemnable.
El’Rufai recently accused APC of causing and fueling the crises in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party and NNPP.
In a viral video on X on Tuesday, El-Rufai claimed that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is deliberately sponsoring disputes within these parties to weaken their leadership.
However, in a statement in Lagos on Wednesday, NNPP’s National Chairman, Dr Agbo Major, pointed out that the party was compelled to respond to El’Rufai because his utterances linking the crisis in NNPP to the APC were misguided .
His words: “El’Rufai’s assertions were based on insinuations and inaccurate information he may have gathered from enemies of party internal democratic processes.”
The National Chairman maintained that the crisis in NNPP which had been resolved, was as a result of the inordinate ambition of some members in total disregard to agreements and party rules and regulations.
He noted that the genesis of the crisis in NNPP erupted shortly after the 2023 general elections as a result of termination of an MoU that struck a temporary union between the NNPP, The National Movement (TNM) and the Kwankwassiya group.
Major said that the genesis and progress of the disagreement had been vigorously escalated, using all media platforms since 2023.
He expressed disappointment in El’Rufai, saying that if the ordinary and uneducated Nigerians are familiar with the facts about the raging crisis, the former governor should not make such unguarded and unacceptable statement.
“Nigerians are no longer to be deceived. El’rufai must know that the choice of who rules Nigeria come 2027 can never be determined by him and his cronies,” NNPP National Chairman said.
He urged El’Rufai to stay away from NNPP issues, as the party is not an opposition to any other, including the APC.
According to the NNPP National Chairman, the subject matter in Nigeria today should be welfare and wellbeing of all Nigerians through good governance, hard work, collaboration and observance of the rule of law.
