* “They claim Abba, Kwankwaso, respectively, not party member, expelled”
*NNPP brands them electorate’s enemies for issuing false statements

The National Secretariat of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has alerted members of the public about activities of some expired members of the party, who are hired to address a press conference in Abuja, mainly to disparage the personality of Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, and Leader of the party, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Making the alert was Mr. Ladipo Johnson Esq, on behalf of the NNPP’s National Working Committee (NWC) under the leadership of Acting National Chairman Hon. Abba Kawu Ali.
The hired elements include Tope Aluku, who were said to be conducting a press conference in Jabi, Abuja to falsely state as a form of propaganda that “that H.E. Abba Kabir Yusuf was not a member of the NNPP as at the time of the election and that His Excellency Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso is dismissed from the party”.
Ladipo said, “It has come to our notice that certain expelled members of the NNPP which include Tope Aluko and some ex state chairmen, who are sponsored elements, are conducting a press conference in Jabi, Abuja to falsely state as a form of propaganda, that H.E. Abba Kabir Yusuf was not a member of the NNPP as at the time of the election and that His Excellency, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso is dismissed from the party.
“These allegations are totally false and inaccurate. We state that the Kano State Governor was a bona fide member of the NNPP at all material times and that we have confidence in the Supreme Court of Nigeria that justice will be done. These hired/paid hands who seem to be lackeys in the hands of the APC national chairman, Ganduje, seem to have “sold their souls” and will do anything for pecuniary gains at the expense of the Nigerian electorate.
“We remind the general populace that Chief Boniface Aniebonam, one of the founders of the NNPP, recently spoke out in favor of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and asked that his election be upheld. Therefore it is a mystery that some of his loyalists would stoop so low as to become hired hands to misinform Nigerians.
“In conclusion we urge that Nigerians ignore the false statements by these enemies of the Nigerian electorate!”
