The Founder of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Boniface Aniebonam, has said the party would come out stronger from its current internal crisis.
In a statement on Sunday in Lagos, Aniebonam said the party’s greatness lay in the ability of its members to amicably resolve the ongoing internal wranglings.
According to him, it was important for the party to think out of the box, reason responsibly and find solutions to the internal leadership crisis.
”Our members should understand that trouble is not the way forward if the party must remain united and formidable,” he said.
The NNPP founder charged members of the party to respect and abide by its constitution and grand norm.
Aniebonam further stated that although going to court was a constitutional way of resolving conflict, resolution through conversation and negotiation was more effective.
He said that Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso and other expelled members of the party added value to the growth and popularity of the party.
”The emergence of Kwankwaso and his Kwankwasiyya Movement enhanced NNPP’s political status in Nigeria.
”Winning a state like Kano and several other positions remains the tonic required to move on and expand our scope in Nigeria.
”So as the founder and life member of the NNPP Board of Trustees, I am a father to all, my wish is nothing less than total peace in the party,” he said.
He said that the party which came into existence in 2002, had earned remarkable feats by winning elections and remaining afloat as a registered political party in the country.
”The most important thing now is our capacity and ability to take advantage and advance the course of our objectives to enthrone a new Nigeria of our dreams.
