The New Nigeria People\u2019s Party (NNPP) has issued a strongly worded statement criticizing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and accusing Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Elder Buba Galadima of undermining the party\u2019s integrity. <\/p>\n
Speaking through its Secretary General, Comrade Oginni Olaposi Sunday, NNPP expressed disappointment that Hakeem Baba Ahmed, Chairman of the People\u2019s Redemption Party (PRP), paid a solidarity visit to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) without first addressing NNPP\u2019s grievances. <\/p>\n
The NNPP accused Kwankwaso and Galadima of converting the party\u2019s logo and structures into their private concern without authorization. According to the statement, Kwankwaso later advised his Kwankwasiya Movement to collapse state structures into ADC, leaving behind factions led by Dipo Olayoku, Barr. Ladipo Johnson, and Prince Onu Nweze. <\/p>\n
The party warned ADC against condoning what it described as \u201cevil and ungratefulness,\u201d stressing that such actions could have divine consequences. <\/p>\n
NNPP also accused INEC of disobeying a compelling order of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, which directed compliance within 72 hours. The party argued that INEC had assumed judicial powers by interpreting court judgments instead of enforcing them, thereby undermining democracy. <\/p>\n
\u201cINEC has converted their office into a courtroom,\u201d the statement read, adding that the commission\u2019s legal department has become \u201cthe greatest problem of democracy in Nigeria.\u201d <\/p>\n
The party urged President Bola Tinubu to investigate INEC\u2019s conduct ahead of the 2027 general elections, warning that NNPP may seek legal redress that could affect the electoral timetable if the commission continues to delay compliance. <\/p>\n
While commending Baba Ahmed\u2019s solidarity speech to ADC, NNPP insisted that ADC must confront Kwankwaso and Galadima over their alleged misconduct. \u201cAn injury to one is an injury to all,\u201d the statement declared, urging ADC not to condone actions that could destabilize sister parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
