Why our planned protest against INEC was cancelled  -NNPP 

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) says it cancelled  its planned protest against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to avoid it being hijacked by hoodlums and political rivals to instigate disorder.

Recall that the party on Jan. 10, announced that it would be holding a peaceful protest in Abuja on Tuesday, Jan. 20, to press home its agitation for INEC to upload the authentic executives of the party, led by Dr Agbo Major.

In a statement signed  by its Founder and Chairman Board of Trustees, Dr Boniface Aniebonam, the NNPP said that in spite of its determination to get INEC to comply with Court orders regarding the authentic leadership of the party, it realised that it should not be at the detriment of Nigeria. 

"We are law abiding citizens and our quest for justice will always respect the peace and unity of Nigeria. 

"We are pained by the refusal of INEC to do what is right but we still believe in towing the right lane in achieving it.

"As law abiding citizens of Nigeria, we have no alternative than to put off the protest for the peace of our country."

The party urged its members to remain calm, assuring them that their grievances would be resolved in soon. 

It lamented that INEC had continued to disregard court orders, directing it to recognised the Major led authentic leadership of the party. 

"It is already in  public space that the  Abia High Court and the  Federal Capital Territory High Court Abuja directed  INEC  to stop dealing with the Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso  led group pending the outcome of the ongoing judicial review. 

"The issue is not about leadership crisis but termination of Memorandum of Understanding between the NNPP and the  Kwankwasiya Movement led by Kwankwaso.

"We approached the FCT  high court for a review as  INEC was  unduly delaying the process of updating its records to reflect the judgments of the courts.

"We hope that these issues will be resolved soon and that justice will prevail."
