The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has revealed the reason for the defection of its former National Chairman, Prof Rufa’i Alkali, and other members of the party, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
A statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Abdulsalam Abdulrasaq, on Wednesday said that Alkali, Prof Bem Angwe, Senator Othman Hunkuyi and several others left the party “due to high-handedness and insatiable desire to take over a platform benevolently donated by Dr Boniface Aniebonam and its mother organisation – NAGAFF for use in the 2023 general election”.
The APC had posted on its official X handle that its national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, on Wednesday, received 26 chieftains of the NNPP, including Alkali and three governorship candidates, into the party in Abuja.
