The national leadership of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has rejected the alleged suspension of its Bauchi state chairman, Malam Sani Shehu, stating that he remains the genuine Chairman of the Party in the state.
The alleged suspension of Shehu by the North East zonal secretary, Babayo Liman, on July 13, 2022, without the consent and approval of the party’s zonal chairman, Kawu Ali, and the National Working Committee (NWC), is a flagrant violation of the NNPP’s Constitution.
However, in a statement issued on Wednesday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Dr Agbo Major, stated that the impeachment “is set aside, null and void, and of no effect.” The NNPP believes in due process, the rule of law, and strict adherence to its Constitution, which is registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“The party warns its officials at all levels to refrain from taking any action that will cause disaffection and division among members as we jointly strategize, mobilise Nigerians, and move into the 2023 general election that will redefine the destiny of the nation and create a new Nigeria citizens desire and deserve.”
