The founder of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Dr. Boniface Aniebonam yesterday led his association, the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) to organize special prayers for Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State, seeking God’s intervention ahead of the Supreme Court’s ruling on the appeal before it.
Aniebonam, who doubles as both NAGAFF’s founder as well as the Founder and Chairman, NNPP Board of Trustees, was suspended by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party loyal to its presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
But speaking during the prayer session, Aniebonam said there was no problem in NNPP since Kwanwkwaso and himself had not made valid statements regarding the widely reported leadership crisis in the party.
He said that constitutional and procedurally, Yusuf remained a leader of the party.
“I am in talks with Gov. Abba Yusuf and that is why I factored in this prayer meeting. I have to say that I do not have any issue with Kwanwkwaso.”
He described what was going on in the party as “voices of the boys because of stomach infrastructure.”
Recall that the judgment of the Appeal Court sitting in Abuja upheld the decision of the Kano State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which sacked Yusuf, the lone NNPP governor in the federation. (NAN)
