The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has warned the public against dealing with impostors parading themselves as candidates and leadership of the party in the build up to the 2027 general elections.
The party also said that it is yet to join any coalition or work out any arrangement with any other political party for the 2027 elections.
This is contained in a statement by the party’s founder, Dr Boniface Aniebonam.
“It has come to the knowledge of the NNPP’s leadership that certain individuals, who have been expelled from our fold, confirmed by court judgments and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), have been parading themselves as leaders of the party with an intent to extort money from unsuspecting political parties and candidates.
Reference is hereby made to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in particular for the avoidance of doubts
“All contestants, coalition or political parties that may have been duped should go back to the impostors for a refund of the money paid as contestants fees or alliance.
“The authentic NNPP with basket of fruits as its logo is not a member of any coalition. It stands to reason that as a national political party, we are independent,” Aniebonam stated.
According to him, the NNPP would announce certain decisions with regard to strategic alliances with any of the political parties for the 2027 general elections, if there is need to.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the following officers, including Dr Aniebonam, founder and chairman, Board of Trustees; Dr Agbo Major, national chairman; Mr Oginni Olaposi, national secretary; Prince Toyese and Aisha kade onyia as national treasurer and woman leader, respectively, have the mandate of the party as the authentic leaders to speak and take informed decisions on its behalf. These are the recognised officials by the INEC,” Aniebonam said.
