State Chairmen’s Forum of New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has urged President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to be careful in their relations with former Presidential Candidate of NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
They claimed the meeting between Kwankwaso and some big wigs in Nigeria’s politics was the former’s strategy to stay relevant after supposedly losing the grip of NNPP’s structure throughout the nation.
In a statement, over the weekend, Ogun NNPP Chairman and Leader of the Forum, Olaposi Oginni, asked Atiku and Tinubu to sever all connections with the former governor of Kano.
For the forum, the latest meeting between Kwankwaso and Atiku is disgusting and humiliating.
Oginni advised the Department of State Services (DSS) to keep a watch on Kwankwaso’s political desperation, which may pose security concern.
The NNPP chairman accused Kwankwaso of violating the founder of the party, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, by breaching the Memorandum of Understanding made before the 2023 presidential race.
“Dr. Aniebonam gave him the platform without taking a dime to enable him contest the 2023 presidential election. It is saddening that Kwankwaso is brazenly seeking every available methods to kidnap the party from the original owner.
“In the same vein, Kwankwaso, without recourse to the states chairmen and the Chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT), unilaterally started and concluded negotiation with Tinubu on the recent presidential election. This anti-party action was corroborated by Kwankwaso’s spokesman, Ladipo Johnson, when he appeared on Channels Television last week to react to several claims by Oginni,” the statement reads.
The forum used the means to advise Atiku to be more cautious in his interactions with the likes of nomadic politicians of Kwankwaso’s kind. It added: “Atiku and PDP’s preemptive measures on likely presidential election rerun shall be counter-productive with the likes of Kwankwaso, who can never be trusted.”
“What else can a Kwankwaso, who ensured that Atiku did not emerge as the sole candidate from the North, ready to offer after the colossal damages of Atiku’s and PDP’s chance of winning the presidential election?”
