The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), is engulfed in leadership crisis over the suspension of the Founder and Chairman Board of Trustees Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam and National Publicity Secretary, Agbo Major, by the National Working Committee (NWC).
The NWC had accused Aniebonam and Agbo of gross misconduct that would be investigated by the party.
But the embattled Spokesperson, in a statement yesterday, noted that purported suspension was comical which should be disregarded by well-meaning members of the party.
He noted that the Board would react fully after the meeting in Lagos slated August 28.
“The news of the purported suspension of the Founder and Chairman, Board of Trustees of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Dr Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam and the National Publicity Secretary Dr Agbo Major should be disregarded as a huge comic show expected only from Nollywood or Hollywood.
“While an elaborate meeting of the Board is fixed for Monday 28th August 2023 in Lagos to take crucial decisions on the illegalities perpetrated by the power crazy NWC, I urge media men to treat the purported suspension of the Founder and Co-Founder not even like a pinch of salt.
“The powers of the BOT of NNPP as clearly spelt out in our constitution vest enormous authority to call to order any officer of the party who acts in variance with the constitution.
“The long drawn dagger that has brought the party down to this level is traceable to the vicious attempts been made by the erstwhile presidential candidate Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to hijack the party and whose interest does not seem to be in agreement with the Founder’s insistence that the rule of law and constitutional order be maintained in all decisions.
“The Board would react fully after the meeting in Lagos on Monday,” he said.
