A faction of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has said it is not a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), faulting former vice president Atiku Abubakar on the claim.
In a statement yesterday, it clarified that the party has no intention of joining or collapsing into the ADC.
“We are so surprised that Abubakar, a frontline presidential aspirant of the ADC could make such an assertion, that NNPP is now in ADC,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Abubakar, on a live television interview with Mr Charles Aniagolu of Arise television, listed and included NNPP as a member of the coalition group in ADC.
Olaposi stated that membership of Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, Dr Ahmed Ajuji, Elder Buba Galadima and the Kwankwasiya Movement in the ADC had nothing to do with NNPP as a political party.
“Kwankwaso and his kwankwasiya movement are members of the coalition group and there are verifiable evidence that some members of the group followed Kwankwaso to the new party.
“NNPP is not after anyone or group but merely a political party seeking to contest elections in Nigeria like other political parties.
“We have nothing against the ADC but we also do not want to be part of it.
“The Memorandum of Association we had with the Kwankwasiya movement expired after the 2023 general elections. Kwankwaso and others were equally expelled from the NNPP.
“We can also say that some members of the Kwankwasiya movement joined the APC with their leader,” he said.
Olaposi said the kwankwasiya members, who followed Kwankwaso, were in the minority and it’s their hope that ADC was not deceived by the rented crowd seen in Kano when former Kano State governor joined them.
He said majority of the Kwankwasiya Movement group were now in APC. (NAN)
