By Tom Okpe

The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has alleged that N300 million bribery has been given factional members to destabilise the Party, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

This allegation, came from the secretary, Board of Trustee, BoT, of the Party, Engr. Buba Galadima, at the 8th National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting held in Abuja.

According to Galadima, there is no faction in NNPP and the logo of the party was not in controversy as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, recognises leadership of the party and its logo.

He stressed that there was a time the logo of the party was, ‘Fruit Basket’ but today, it is no more, as the logo now, depicts ‘books,’ which means, concerns of the Party on education.

The NEC held in Abuja was attended by its Presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso; Kano State Deputy Governor, Comrade Abdusallam Gwarzo; Jibrin Falgore, Speaker, Kano State House of Assembly; Secretary, BoT, Engr Buba Galadima; National Chairman, Dr Ajuji Ahmed, members of the National Working Committee, NWC, of the Party, members of the legislature, both National and States, and other Party officials.

Galadima also, alleged that the said faction collected N300 million in Abuja to hold their recent factional NEC in Lagos State recently.

Recall that the factional NNPP recently held its NEC in Lagos, where Dr Major Agbo was re-elected as its National Chairman.

However, Galadima dismissed the faction and it’s acclaimed election, stating that the media gave them such accolade describing it as: “the oxygen, giving them life.”

He said: “There was no Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC representative in that meeting, but here today, we have five INEC representatives.

“It is INEC that recognizes Political Party and, has not recognized any faction in NNPP,” dismissing such election and faction, as media products.”

While the meeting adopted and ratified some State executives appointments, the National Secretary, Dipo Olayoku, said the meeting was aimed at reviewing activities of the Party since the last one in September 2024, look at the shortcomings and fashion out the roadmap for the journey ahead.

“The past five months have been busy for us as a Party, especially with elections both at the Local Government and State levels. We participated in all the Local Government elections that were held in all the States that had conducted such election and I am happy to inform you that, our performance was encouraging, especially in Kano State, where we won all the seats contested for.

“We want to use this medium to appreciate the INEC and States Independent Electoral Commission for using our new logo in the ballot papers for those elections.

“We are continuing with the re-organisation, both at the National and State levels, with a view, to repositioning the Party for the challenges ahead, especially the forthcoming off -season elections and indeed, 2027 General elections,” he added.
