The Founder and National Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Boniface Aniebonam, has stated that Buba Galadima is not in a position to speak for the party.
This is as he maintained that Galadima and some others have been expelled from the NNPP.
Speaking in a statement on Sunday in Lagos, Aniebonam also debunked the claim by Galadima that the federal government is fighting the NNPP government in Kano.
He warned against making unveriable claims about government activities.
“With the challenges facing the nation, all leaders in Nigeria must be mindful of their statements.
“Nigeria belongs to all of us, and if there is an uprising, we will all be affected; thus, the need to be cautious in our utterances.
“The NNPP is not against valid criticisms of government policies but we are against individuals who tend to use platforms they do not belong to, to peddle lies,” Aniebonam said.
His position comes as a direct reply to the submission by Galadima during an interview with the Channels Television on Thursday, in which the elder statesman accused the federal government of fighting the NNPP Government of Gov. Abba Yusuf in Kano State.
Aniebonam however submitted that there is a need to differentiate the Kwankwassiya movement and the NNPP.
He deslcared that NNPP as a party is not under any form of attack in Kano State.
“He ought to have known that there is a huge difference between NNPP and the Kwankwassiya movement he runs with Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso.
“NNPP has long terminated relationship with that movement.
“There is need to differentiate between the Kwankwassiya movement and the NNPP.
“Galadima and others have long been expelled from the NNPP at the expiration of terms of the MOU that brought us and the movement together and, therefore, can no longer speak for us in any capacity.”
“NNPP, as a party, is not under any form of attack in Kano State,” Aniebonam said.
