The National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has ratified the expulsion of the party’s Founder and Board of Trustees (BoT) Chief Boniface Aniebonam and the national publicity Secretary Agbo Major over anti-party activities and setting up of parallel BoT, NWC and state chapters of the party.
The announcement was made during the NEC meeting presided over by the acting national chairman Abba Kawu Alli held at the Bolingo Hotel Abuja on Tuesday.
Kawu Alli had in a statement he signed on Friday, August 25, said the duo were suspended following their unruly activities and behaviour especially Aniebonam who he said has abrogated more power to himself and saw the NNPP as his political platform and personal estate, reversed decisions of the National Working Committee and even those decisions ratified and adopted by the party’s NEC.
According to the NEC, the suspension was with immediate effect pending the outcome of investigations by the disciplinary committee of the party.
The acting national chairman said the NEC was aimed at restructuring and charting a new course for the party and bringing every member under one umbrella while he urged those who have won elections on the platform of the party to be good ambassadors as well as emulate the national leader and presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who was absent at the NEC meeting.
