NNPP BLAMES INEC FOR DELAY IN FIXING, HOLDING PRIMARIES, PLANS PROTEST

 

NNPP blames INEC for delay in fixing,  holding primaries, plans protest 


The New Nigeria Peoples Party ((NNPP) led by Dr Boniface Aniebonam has blamed INEC for its setbacks in concluding screenings and fixing its primaries for aspirants of the party. 

The party also said that with no option left, it may have to mobilise for protest against the commission.

Recall that the party shelved its planned protest against INEC over delays in uploading the authentic leadership of the party to its website, following appeals by well meaning Nigerians that it may be hijacked by hooligans to cause mayhem. 

However, in a statement on Thursday, the party's National Secretary Comrade Ogini Olaposi stated that INEC is again pushing the NNPP to the wall with inexplicable delays that may deny the party its rights to fully participate in the 2027 general elections. 


"We used all legal means via the courts to get the commission to comply with Court orders and stop the unnecessary delays which we believe is linked and masterminded by those who left the NNPP. 

"The meeting between NNPP leadership  with with the chairman of INEC, Prof Joash Amupitan and his management team at the commission's headquarters on  May 19  gave an insight of what we suspect may be causing the delay. 

"The INEC chairman said the commission will revert soon and till date, it is yet to comply with the court order  that gave it 72 hours to upload the NNPP National Working Committee (NWC) led by Agbo Major. 

"It is most unfortunate that lNEC have refused to obey court orders, which sends a very wrong signal ahead of the election. INEC  do not have the powers to disobey court orders. 

"In every instance of any order of the court, the only option available to INEC  is to obtain a stay of execution or to secure an appeal from a higher court to set aside the judgment or order of the court, which it has not done. 

"It is, therefore,  most unfortunate, surprising, shameful and a disgrace to Nigeria as a country that a Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja issued a compelling order to INEC  to deregister the Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso  led Kwankwasiya Movement and replace it with the original logo and colour symbol of NNPP  within 72 hours,  and file an  affidavit of compliance within 14  days."

According to Olaposi,  Sixty days after,  the commission is  yet to comply with the order of the  court. The Owerri Appeal Court followed suit and yet, INEC leadership is adamant. 

"As  a regulatory agency of  government, INEC must be seen to remain neutral at all times. 


"How will a commission continue to uphold the leadership and logo of the Kwankwasiya movement  logo even when Nigerians know that Kwankwaso and his supporters are  member of another party

"This is  not just about NNPP  at the moment but the constitution of Nigeria and the judiciary to protect and guard their jurisdiction jealously. 

"Kwankwaso is now in  NDC with Buba Galadima, Dr Ahmed Ajuji,  and even their spokesperson, Ladipo Johnson and others. We keep wondering who is left from the group to still be claiming NNPP members and causing confusion that INEC has failed to see.


One begin to wonder what Prof Amupitan ment by forum shopping of court judgments  under the circumstances of our various victory in court 

"Our right to protest is guaranteed by the Constitution. We can't sit back and watch INEC continue to deny us the right to participate in an election as a duly registered political party in Nigeria. 

"We have missed opportunities to participate in some off cycle elections due to delays by commission. We won't let it happen again. 

This injustice must be corrected as we press for the enforcement of court orders at the trial court  of justice Bello Kawu of the Federal Capital Territory High abuja. 

What is certain is that we do not want Prof Amupitan to be comited to prison term but to upload our logo and colour symbol to it's portal and delete illegal logo of kwankwaso led kwankwasiya movement instantly in accordance with Court orders;
