The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has concluded its National Convention, ratifying key decisions, including the expulsion of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Buba Galadima, and the entire Kwankwassiya faction. The party also elected Dr. Agbo Major as its new National Chairman.

Dr. Major reaffirmed the party’s compliance with the Abia High Court ruling, which directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize the party’s Board of Trustees (BOT) led by Dr. Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam.

“Following this judgment, all party congresses were conducted at ward, local government, state, and zonal levels, culminating in the National Convention on February 4, 2025, in Lagos,” Dr. Major stated.

The convention also ratified all party congresses held from ward to zonal levels, formally severed ties with the Kwankwassiya movement, and approved a return to the original NNPP logo.

Dr. Major criticized Senator Kwankwaso’s loyalists, accusing them of destabilizing the party despite their formal expulsion. “We will not be distracted by unemployed characters masquerading as NNPP members, spewing falsehoods in the media. The courts have ruled, and they must peacefully exit our party instead of causing chaos,” he declared.

Dr. Major expressed confidence that INEC would soon update its records to reflect the leadership changes, in line with the Abia High Court directive. “We urge INEC to uphold the rule of law and formally recognize our leadership. NNPP is focused on preparing for 2027 and consolidating the party’s progress,” he affirmed.
