NNPP Begs Tinubu, APC over Kwankwaso' reckless outburst

The National Leadership of New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) has tendered unreserved apology to the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the statement allegedly credited to the party's erstwhile Presidential Candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

According to the party, Kwankwaso must stop parading himself as a member or being recognized as the National Leader of the NNPP founded and Registered by Dr. Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam as far back as year 2002.

National Secretary of the party, Comrade Oginni Olaposi Sunday, in a statement , described Kwankwaso recent outburst against the Presidency and ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as reckless.

Oginni explained that the NNPP's National Leadership reiterated that Kwankwaso and his cohorts have been expelled from the Party and that they should henceforth refrain from using the name of the party to perpetrate evils and unwarranted attacks on the Presidency.

" The recent outburst and attacks on the Personality of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and his expelled group are views and positions of his Kwankwasia group and not that of New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP)".

 " Kwankwaso as a political drowning man who recently, on the 3rd of April, 2025 to be precised, lost heavily at the FCT HIGH COURT ABUJA in his attempt to use Judiciary to highjack NNPP from Dr. Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam led Board of Trustees(BoT) and Dr Agbo Gilbert Major led National Working Committee (NWC)has become a wounded mad dog barking at every perceived imaginary political opponents".

"We hereby tendered an unreserved apology to the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the entire APC family led by His Excellency Dr Abdulahi Umar Ganduje for the reckless statement of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso our erstwhile Presidential Candidate for using the name of our great party to insult the President and the APC led Federal Government of Nigeria.

"As a Vibrant opposition political party, New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) shall continue to contribute our own quota to the National development through constructive criticism of the policies of the incumbent government. The credentials of New Nigeria People's Party showed clearly that we are not out to play " dirty politics" with the name of the Party.

"All these people including but not limited to Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Elder Buba Galadima and the defunct NWC members of NNPP led by Dr Ahmed Ajuji are not members of NNPP any longer. 

"They have been expelled and ratified by the Abia State High Court and the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja declaratory judgements.

"These two judgements including the authority of NNPP internal democracy that expelled them cannot be overemphasised.

"It's our hope and believe that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso should not have become deaf and dumb not to address his innocent few followers that he has been deceiving all along on the reality of his failures to highjack NNPP from the original owners , hence, his political confusions and uncertain future.

"It is a well known fact that the brave ones among Kwankwaso's followers have been bold enough to ask him and Elder Buba Galadima to provide them with the Original Certificate of Registration of the New Nigeria People's Party for sighting. He could not do that because the Original Certificate of Registration is with the founder of NNPP, Dr. Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam.This is really one of the shameless situations Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Elder Buba Galadima are contending with.

Oginni, however, appealed to the public and the media to stop referring to kwankwaso as the leader of NNPP instead of Kwankwasia group leader.
