The new leadership of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) is set to conduct a thorough probe into the alleged mismanagement of well over one billion naira  raised from the sale of forms to aspirants between March 2022  and present, in a bid to properly examine the accounts of the party with a view to demanding explanations from the party’s presidential candidate, the party’s chairman who left in March 2023, and the sacked acting chairman and the National Secretary.

 

 

 

The Party under Dr Agbo Gilbert Major disclosed this on Saturday during the maiden meeting at  the Abuja National Secretariat and after a review of the situation resulting from gross mismanagement of some members in the past one year

As part of some  resolutions reached , the party also resolved to overhaul its structures across all levels nationwide in the coming days and weeks.

According to a statement from the National Publicity Secretary , NNPP, Abdulsalam Abdulrazaq,the move was aimed to restore confidence of party members and candidates who came forward with their hard earned money to purchase forms.

Abdulrazaq called on members and supporters of the party to remain calm in the face of this brazen assault of the Kwankwasiya movement whose members were erroneously made to believe the party is sold to them and  called on all aggrieved and displaced members who left for whatever reason to return home.

The National Publicity Secretary, further pointed out that the party queried the rationale for location of the Situation Room to the presidential candidate’s personal residence , even as he noted that the illegal location created room for the massive corruption and manipulation led to imposition of candidates by Buba Galadima and his co-travellers and resolved to set up a Committee to launch a probe into it.

Abdulrazaq stressed that It therefore called for written complaints from aggrieved candidates who were shortchanged after making payments for forms into the party’s account.

He reiterated that the party confirmed its withdrawal from the Memorandum Of Understanding signed by it with the Kwankwasiya Movement and TNM insisting that the principles of these two groups are targeted at massaging the ego of its sole owner and so not in line with the party’s policies of openness and inclusivity.
