Coalition with PDP, Others Untrue – NNPP

The National Secretary of New Nigeria Peoples Party, Olaposi Oginni, has described the purported coalition involving the party and six other political parties tagged “Coalition of Concerned Political Parties” as fake and untrue.

Oginni insisted that the party had not authorised any coalition with any political party, urging the public to disregard the involvement of NNPP in the purported coalition with the People’s Democratic Party and other six parties.

He said this in a letter addressed to the Board of Trustees Chairman of PDP and made available to newsmen on Sunday evening.

The party secretary cautioned the PDP to stop dealing with people who did not represent the interests of the NNPP

“I have the collective instruction of Dr. Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam, the founder and life member of the Board of Trustees of the NNPP; Dr. Temitope Aluko, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the NNPP, and Engr. Abdullahi Babayo, the secretary of the Board of Trustees of the NNPP and The National Chairman, Dr Agbo Gilbert Major, all of the NNPP’s National Secretariat, Winlands Plaza, Wuse Zone 4, FCT Abuja.

“This letter, therefore, serves as a formal caveat to your party (PDP) and others by notifying you that the NNPP has not, and is not authorising any coalition with your party or any other political party for that matter as is being speculated and published.

“In the circumstance, to do otherwise and proceed with the purported coalition in any matter with Sen. Kwankwaso in the name of the NNPP, will be serious hypocrisy on your part and feigning ignorance of a glaring and well-established fact that Sen. Kwankwaso is not a member of the NNPP, and he has no locus or authority to engage in any form of negotiation and/or coalition on behalf of our great party (NNPP).

“The relevant regulatory agency, security agency of the Federal Government and the general public will be notified immediately to ensure that your party and Sen. Kwankwaso do not cause any further damage to our party and to prevent any avoidable breakdown of law and order, besides needless litigations”, he further said.

Oginni urged the PDP leadership not to get entangled in the “manipulating scheme or illegal plans being sold out by some expelled members in the likes of Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso under the guise of being a former presidential candidate of NNPP which is laughable”.
