El'Rufai : NNPP LASHES OUT AT IMPOSTORS
The New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) has lashed out at one Oginni Sunday whom it claimed was an impostor and should not be taken as representing the party in any form or capacity.
Oginni had in a press statement claimed to be NNPP's National Secretary and refuted ex-governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai’s claim that the federal government was behind the internal crisis within the party.
Ladipo Johnson...National Publicity Secretary, NNPPBut in a statement in Abuja yesterday by the National Publicity Secretary, Ladipo Johnson, NNPP denounced every word attributed to Oginni, affirming that he and others had since been expelled from the party over anti-party activities and wondered how and in what capacity he could be issuing a press statement on behalf of the party. Johnson stated that "the question of faction as erroneously being reported in the press does not arise. It's absolutely uninformed, a misplaced identity and should be discontinued henceforth. Oginni and his cohort are NOT members of the party and do not constitute a faction in fact or in Law. They have no authority to speak on behalf of the NNPP."
On the comments attributed to former governor Nasir el-Rufai, the statement said such tendency could probably be true because of the past behaviour and positions taken by the Dr. Boniface Aniebonam - led former members, now acting as impostors.
"It is true that the former Kaduna governor, el-Rufai is stating the obvious going by the antecedents of these impostors. During the Tribunal case involving Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, these renegades publicly supported the APC and similarly did so during the Emirship tussle and the Local government election.
"Having supported the position of the APC as against that of our party NNPP, and at times going out of their way to issue press statements in this regard, anyone in his or her right senses would naturally be of the opinion that these people are not members of the NNPP but are apologists or covert agents of the APC! BUT of course, they are not our members and the public, particularly the press, should see them as such by cross-checking our factual position here with INEC.
"We do agree though that the public perception that they are acting out the script of their paymasters is logical and seems convincing. So to that extent and indeed going by the latest spurious claims by one faceless Oginni Sunday, there's a sense in el-Rufai's assertions that some evil hands are behind the nefarious activities of these impostors", NNPP asserted.
The party reiterated that the case of Oginni Sunday like others were carefully weighed in the past and party guidelines were followed before their expulsion from the party, adding that their expulsion had been upheld through pronouncements of the courts at different times.
