The crisis rocking the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP is taking a twist, as the New Nigeria People’s Party through it’s Board of Trustees, led by Dr Temitope Aluko has filed a suit before the Federal High Court Abuja to stop the proposed Congress/ Convention slated for 2nd to 6th of April, 2024.
The suit with number FHC/ABJ/ CS/ 327/2024 was filled on the 11th of March with an advance copy sent to INEC Chairman with a Covering letter from Barrister Monday Mawah of Templum Chamber advising the commission not to participate in the illegal Congress/Convention until the determination of the case in Court.
Consequently, The Federal High Court Abuja has fixed April 16 for the hearing date of the matter before Hon. Justice Obiora Egwuatu and INEC was duly served by The Court Bailiff on Friday 28th of March,2024.
Todaynews reliably gathered from The National Publicity Secretary, Abdulsalam Abdulrazaq that by The effective Service of the Suit before Hon. Justice Obiora Egwuatu on INEC on Friday the 28th of March is another jeopardy for Kwankwaso’s Group for the third time in a row because INEC as a Neutral and Unbiased Commission by it’s tradition may decide not to participate in any NNPP’s factional Congress/Convention until all litigations, most especially on Congresses and Convention are put to rest.
Furthermore, the National Secretary, Comrade Oginni Olaposi Sunday also revealed that INEC has declined participation in Kwankwaso’s Group proposed Congress/Convention in the last two weeks due to encumbrance from Court cases. It’s however, obvious that INEC will likely excuse itself from internal crisis of NNPP by neutrality until the determination of the matter before Hon. Justice Obiora Egwuatu.
However, recognizing the fact that the internal Leadership crisis in New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) may eventually create a Vacuum, a group known as Nigerian Youth for New Nigeria in a communique made available to Todaynews this weekend called on The Founder of NNPP, Dr. Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam, who by the Constitution of the Party is the Life Member of the Board of Trustees to take over the Leadership and Administration of the Party to forestall any unforseen and avoidable breach of Peace .
According to the National Public Relations Secretary of the Party, Abdulsalam Abdulrazak, the NY4NN made it clear that The Board of Trustees in time of Internal crisis and wrangling should live above board and ensure that every thing possible is done to salvage the party from total collapse.
