- NNPP urges Atiku to withdraw Supreme Court petition against President Tinubu’s election, emphasizing their non-involvement and love for Nigeria
- NNPP declines involvement in the case, asserting a desire to avoid interfering in issues concerning other political parties
The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has asked former Vice President and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar to withdraw his (Atiku’s) petition to the Supreme Court challenging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s election.
Atiku had called on Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso, presidential candidates of the Labour Party and the NNPP, respectively, to join him in exposing President Tinubu’s ‘dirty’ secrets during a world press conference last Thursday in Abuja.
However, in a press conference at the NNPP national secretariat in Abuja, the acting deputy national chairman, Prince Nwaeze Onu, stated that, unlike Atiku and the PDP, the NNPP is not in court and does not want to be seen as an interloper in a case in which it is not involved.
He stated that the NNPP should not be drawn into issues affecting other parties, and that the party decided not to go to court because of its love for Nigeria.
We’re Not Part Of Your Case – NNPP Tells Atiku
The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has stated that it will not support Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s bid to unseat President Bola Tinubu.
According to the NNPP, it is not in court and does not wish to be an intruder in the case of the PDP’s presidential candidate.
During a global press conference, Atiku called for a coalition of opposition parties to depose Tinubu.
However, speaking at a press conference yesterday, the acting deputy national chairman of the NNPP, Prince Nwaeze Onu, stated that despite the invitation, the NNPP will not support Atiku.
“We’re not in court today.” We adore our country. We will not get involved in anything that does not directly affect us. “We are only concerned with what is happening at the level of our party,” Onu stated.
