The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has said that the party will be participating in the by-elections slated for Saturday in 26 states to be conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (NNPP).

NNPP also condemned what he described as misconduct of its Adamawa State chairman and Secretary of the Party, Phineas Elisha and Yerima Sahabo, and asked them to stop parading themselves as leaders of the great Party.

The National Legal Adviser, NNPP, Robert Hon, disclosed this in Abuja, during a press briefing, said that the party has commenced the sale of forms for the Edo State election.

He noted that the NPP primaries election for Edo state will be held on February 23rd to pick candidates and the sale of forms for Ondo will commence in April.

He said: “We also want it placed on record that this group of people who have ceased to be members of our Party, even as affirmed by a valid Court judgment, have individually and collectively suffered losses at the Courts in their misadventures of fighting NNPP.

“Their efforts to drag the judiciary into their shenanigans have been stoutly resisted by the Courts which have consistently asked them to go and settle with their authentic party leadership.

“We have tried to avoid being distracted by their activities which we see as a journey to nowhere. However, concerns by well- meaning Nigerians who continue to call have compelled us to respond now. We wish to use this medium to appeal to Nigerians to shun these elements who have no locus as far as NNPP is concerned.

“We make bold to say that they are just a mere group of political adventurists and crass opportunists who themselves know they are only engaged in an illegal and unprofitable venture.”
