The National Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Ajuji Ahmed, has condemned former party members who have defected to other political parties. Speaking at the party’s 10th National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja, Ahmed warned that those who left the NNPP would encounter difficulties in their new affiliations. He labeled the defectors “renegades” and urged current members to ignore them, suggesting that their decision to leave would ultimately bring hardship.
Ahmed emphasized the NNPP’s strength and unity, despite its relatively small size compared to other parties. He took a swipe at the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress, noting that the NNPP has maintained stability amid external attempts to create divisions. According to Ahmed, the party remains free from internal factions and external control, with no single individual dominating its operations.
The chairman stressed that the NNPP is committed to its goals and guiding principles and is not fragmented or weakened by outside influence. He contrasted this with the situation in other parties, where internal conflicts and external interference have led to instability. Ahmed’s comments appear to respond to recent defections from the NNPP and aim to reassure members of the organization’s stability and unity.
The NNPP has positioned itself as a viable alternative to the dominant parties in Nigeria’s political landscape. Although smaller, it has maintained a strong presence and remains actively engaged in national political discourse. Ahmed’s remarks suggest that the party is focused on preserving its integrity and cohesion and is not intimidated by larger parties.
Nigeria’s political environment is complex, with various parties jostling for position ahead of future elections. The NNPP’s stance on party unity and stability will likely be closely watched by observers as the country’s political landscape continues to evolve. As the party moves forward, maintaining cohesion and focusing on its core principles will be essential for remaining a relevant and effective force in Nigerian politics.
