Kwankwaso can’t dictate 2027 alliance for NNPP – Factional chair  

30th August 2025               The factional National Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Agbo Major, has said the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, cannot force an alliance on the party.

The statement came as a reaction to Kwankwaso’s speech at a meeting of his Kwankwasiyia group on Thursday in Abuja, where he announced that the NNPP was open to alliances ahead of 2027.    He said, “Aside from the obvious betrayal of trust, we regret that Kwankwaso has continued to use the NNPP name to make negotiations and comments that may cause unrest in the country.

 “The recent statement by Kwankwaso accusing the Federal Government of neglecting the North in projects is a classical example.”

 Major stated that the NNPP was awaiting INEC’s reply to its letter, demanding that the commission should upload the new leadership of the party that emanated from a court-ordered convention.

In a statement reported by the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday, Major said the National Executive Council meeting that the Kwankwaso’s faction of the party held in Abuja on Thursday was null and void.

He stated that decisions from the meeting couldn’t change the decision of the party and judgments of the Abia and Federal Capital Territory High Courts on the leadership of the NNPP.
