Despite a lawsuit attempting to halt the proceedings, the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP), successfully conducted its national convention at the weekend.
At the event, the party also ratified the appointment of new National Working Committee (NWC) members and unveiled a new logo.
The new NWC members are Dr. Ajuji Ahmed as acting national chairman, Prince Onu Nwaeze as acting deputy national chairman in the South, Alhaji Abba Kawu Ali as acting deputy national chairman in the North, Hon. Bala Yunusa Muhammed as acting national organising secretary, Ahmed Ladan Tafawa Balewa as acting national treasurer, Barrister Ladipupo Johnson as acting national publicity secretary, and Yakubu Shendan as acting national auditor.
Addressing party members, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the national leader of NNPP, emphasized the significance of the party’s new logo and noted that the logo represents the fight against poverty and the promotion of education.
In a court document with suit number; FHC/ABJ/CS /327/2024 obtained by our correspondent yesterday, the party accused the Kwankwaso’s faction, led by Abba Kawu and Dipo Olayoku, of attempting to sabotage its activities and hijack the NNPP leadership.
The convention was attended by members of the National Executive Committee (NEC), chairmen of the 36 states and FCT, and federal and state lawmakers.
