NNPP not dead, party replies Ganduje

…says APC national chairman inconsequential

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) on Wednesday joined issues with the national chairman of the All Progressives congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje over his claim that the opposition was dead.

Speaking to the Tribune Online, NNPP national publicity secretary, Mr Ladipo Johnson dismissed the claim by Ganduje that the party was dead, stressing that instead Nigerians were praying that APC should disappear due to the untold hardship it has unleashed on the country.

Johnson added that Nigerians wished that they could be saved from their current predicament caused by the way and manner the leaders of APC have displayed their incompetence in ruling the country.

“Ganduje’s words are inconsequential. We actually do not want to dignify him by response. If the APC feels that this is the calibre, quality of person they want as their national chairman, may be that is why the country is where we are to be. There is no truth in what he said.

“The NNPP is not dead. On the contrary, it is the APC that has Nigerians praying that they disappear because of the way and manner they have displayed their incompetence in ruling the country,” the party spokesman stated.

He stated that contrary to the assertion by Ganduje, NNPP national leader, Senator Musa Rabiu Kwankwaso was working hard to ensure that the party consolidates its gains in the political space of the country.

“Senator Kwankwaso is working hard to ensure the NNPP continues to grow. The party itself, the National Working Committee (NWC) and the National Executive Committee (NEC) are doing what they need to do to grow the base of the party.

“Yes, we are talking to people; people are talking to us. However, at the right time, when we feel we would talk to Nigerians whether it is that we will partner with any party or person; whether we remain as NNPP, or whether we will welcome people to the party.

“Time will tell. This is 2025 and there is still time. We will continue to work and we will continue to move,” he said.
