The Founder of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Dr Boniface Aniebonam has blasted Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso and Elder Buba Galadima for what he described as people struggling over what doesn’t belong to them.
Aniebonam, who is the Founder and Chairman Board of Trustees of the NNPP made this known in a statement on Saturday in Lagos.
“What is really wrong with Kwankwaso and Galadima and their quest to continue struggling over what does not belong to them? Aniebonam stated over ill actions and a recent letter by the Kwankwaso group to INEC, requesting to conduct congresses and convention for the NNPP.
“It is regrettable to note that Kwankwaso, whom I gave the NNPP presidential ticket for free in 2023, can descend to the level of lacking in morals and good conscience in the name of politics .
“For clarity sake, Kwankwaso sent a delegation of highly respected Nigerians in the persons of Galadima, Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi and Prof. Sam Angwe to my country home in Umuawulu town, Anambra state Nigeria, seeking for assistance to enable him contest the presidential election on NNPP platform in 2023.
“We obliged him at no cost, only for him to take advantage of our platform and gave to members of his Kwankwasiya Movement, who contested other elections of the state assembly, federal House of Representative and senatorial seats at no cost.
“A simple, liberal and brotherly Memorandum of Understanding were entered into between NNPP and the Kwankwasiya Movement under his leadership which expired after the 2023 elections.”
Aniebonam noted that after the general election of 2023, the MoU of understanding shall be reviewed to the benefit or otherwise of the parties concerned.
“Most unfortunately, Kwankwaso planned a betrayal of trust against my good nature and the party.
“It is already in the public space that Kwankwaso went behind illegally to change the logo, colour and constitution of the NNPP to his advantage . He wanted to hijack the party for his personal gain and tradership .”
According to the NNPP Founder, the worst later happened that Kwankwaso and together with his kwankwasiya movement, claimed that they have expelled me from the party i founded and registered with INEC in 2001.
What an impunity, arrogance, disrespectfulness, betrayal of trust and systems corruption
“The NNPP constitution does not allow any member of the party to touch the founder, being a life member of the board.
“It is my belief that Kwankwaso may be carried away by greed, arrogance , inferiority complex and impunity to build on nothing.
“As a former minister of defence, a former member of the Federal House of Representative, a Senator of the Federal Republic, a two term governor and with a seating Gov ABBA KABIR YUSUF of kano as his godson,Kwankwaso is disposed to huge financial resources to do whatever he likes in a corrupt society. It is most unfortunate and regrettable
“NNPP shall come out stronger in 2027 as the party to watch despite the antics of Kwankwaso and his group,” Aniebonam added.
Recall that in a letter to INEC dated Oct. 31 by Kwankwaso’s group and jointly signed by Dr Ahmed Ajuji and Mr Dipo Olayoku, the duo had informed the commission of plans to hold fresh congresses nationwide to elect new officials for the NNPP.
The letter stated that the congresses for ward, local government, and state will begin from.Nov. 24, culmination in a national convention in January, 2026.
