The former spokesperson of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Musa Nuhu Yankaba has stated that the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso and the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf are not members of the party.
Speaking during an interview with DCL Hausa, Yankaba declared that the party with the fruit logo is the original NNPP.
OsunDailyNG understands that Kwankwaso recently, led some key members of the party in changing its logo to a book symbol. Yankaba, however, emphasized that the Kano state government was elected under the original party, urging the leaders to come together and work for the advancement of the party.
He further pointed out that a court in Abia state, on November 1, 2024, had confirmed Boniface’s faction as the legitimate leadership of the party, ruling that he was the founder and the rightful leader. The court also annulled the activities that had taken place before, including the logo change and the election of new leaders, so as it stands, Kwankwaso and Abba do not have a political party.
“We have conducted elections at various levels, and we stand with the original NNPP with the fruit logo. We call on everyone, especially those who care about Kano, to return to our party,” said Yankaba.
