Boniface-led NNPP Declares Kwankwaso Faction Illegal, Says He Is Not Party Leader

The Boniface-led faction of the New Nigeria People Party (NNPP) has stated that the faction led by former presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso is illegal and illegitimate.

Kano State Chairman of the party, Senator Masu’d el Jilbreen Doguwa, stated this during a press conference.

He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to comply with the subsisting court orders recognizing their faction as the authentic owners and bearers of the NNPP.

Doguwa listed three court judgments delivered in their favour on the proprietorship of the NNPP to include that of Justice MA Hassan of an Abuja High Court, Justice Bello Kawu of Abuja High Court and Justice CU Okoroafor of an Abia High Court.

He reiterated that Kwankwaso is not the leader of their party nor the proprietor of the NNPP as is enormously assumed, adding that the former Governor ceased to be a major stakeholder of the party, soon after the 2023 general elections,when he featured as their Presidential flag-bearer.

He said that the NNPP in the state was ready to welcome any of its members who wished to retain their membership in their individual capacity but would not welcome members who wished to operate as Kwankwasiyya Movement within the NNPP.
