The stakeholders, after meeting in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti state capital at the weekend and released a communique explaining that the group of individuals who made the call lacked the power, adding that the national headquarters under the leadership of the acting chairman, Alhaji Abba Kawu-Ali, had since dissolved the state executives of the party in the state.

They reiterated their loyalty and commitment to the presidential candidate for his selfless service and leadership, which resulted in the successes recorded by the party in the 2023 general election.
The communique read, “We hereby dissociate the Ekiti State chapter of NNPP from such illegal and obnoxious moves. Every of such actions should be Ignored as the players have neither the mandate nor fit to represent the interest of the components of the real members of the party in Ekiti.
“We hereby make bold to declare that NNPP Ekiti State does not have any Chairman in place for now to call for the resignation and suspension of our dear successful Icon and Great National Party leader, HE. Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
“As no Ekiti NNPP stakeholder and members are part of such unpopular, unacceptable, and selfish moves by disgruntled elements who were either suspended or reprimanded for their shortcomings one way or the other.
“We implore all and sundry to see the illegal call as a ploy to destabilize the party’s unity, harmony and take us back to the quashed failure of the past. Anyone who claims to support such moves from the Ekiti State chapter of NNPP is on their own not representing us; such person or persons is/are not known to our party New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Ekiti State.
“They are enemies of the projected progress being worked upon for the party’s future. It is a matter of corruption fighting back.”
