Kwankwaso Is Back! – Bashir Ahmad Reacts To Crisis In NNPP

A former presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad has reacted to the crisis in the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

Naija News recalls that the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Rabiu Kwankwaso was suspended by the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the NNPP over alleged anti-party activity.

However, in a twist of event, the Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso-led faction expelled the Founder and Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the party, Boniface Aniebonam, and some members.

The party stated that Aniebonam’s expulsion from the NNPP was with immediate effect and accused the BoT Chairman, the National Publicity Secretary, Agbo Major, and others of anti-party activities.

Aniebonam was accused of creating a parallel group within the party to cause disaffection in the NNPP.

A chieftain of the NNPP, Ladipo Johnson said the meeting held by Aniebonam where the suspension of Kwankwaso was announced was illegal, null, and void.

Reacting to the crisis in the party, Ahmad wrote, “Another twist in the NNPP saga as a faction of the party, loyal to Sen. Kwankwaso, expelled members who organized the earlier Board of Trustees meeting in Lagos. Kwankwaso is back as the tensions continue to rise within the opposition party.”
