The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has written the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), intimating it of alleged plans by some groups to change the party’s logo.
The party also wrote its 2023 presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, to end the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) it entered into with the Kwankwasia group for the 2023 general elections.
Both letters were signed by Mr Peter Ogah, the party’s solicitor and made available to newsmen on Wednesday in Lagos.
Recall that that a faction of the party on September 5, under the leadership of Major Agbo, expelled its presidential candidate, Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, over alleged anti-party activities and misappropriation of party campaign funds.
Ogah informed INEC in the letter that its client had informed the firm on a news item that some individuals were taking steps to change the party’s logo and amend the constitution.
“We act as solicitors to the New Nigeria Peoples Party represented by Dr Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam, the Founder and Dr Temitope Aluko, the Chairman. Board of Trustees and we write upon their instruction.
“Our client, however, informed us that while the Board is preparing for the said meeting. their attention was been drawn to a news item in the media,” the letter stated.
The solicitor thanked the commission, and commended it for always ensuring the supremacy of the rule of law and justice.
Also, in the letter to Kwankwaso, Ogah said their clients had brought to its attention the MoU executed on February 21, 2022 between the representatives NNPP, and the representatives of the groups.
The solicitor said the groups were the National Movement (TNM) and Kwankwasia, saying that the MoU was for the purpose of using the NNPP as a platform for the 2023 general elections.
