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, has been described as a nullity and a huge comic show from Nollywood or Hollywood which should be disregarded.
A statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of NNPP, Dr. Agbo Major and made available to THISDAY in Ado Ekiti, said 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 statement added, “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.
“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 Board would react fully after the meeting in Lagos on Monday”
