NNPP suspends congresses in 13 states

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has suspended its Wards, Local Governments and States congresses earlier scheduled to commence on Thursday, March 14, 2024.

The party had earlier fixed Wards, Local and state congresses in 13 states, namely: Oyo, Ogun, Kaduna, Anambra, Zamfara, Katsina, Niger, Rivers, Kwara, Ekiti, Sokoto, Enugu, and Delta.

In a notice jointly signed by its Acting National Chairman, Alhaji Abba Kawu Ali, and the National Secretary, Dipo Olayoku, the party said the decision to suspend the congresses was based on the advice of its legal team in an ongoing litigation which it said INEC is also a party.

The party said new dates for the congresses will be communicated to the stakeholders including the INEC and relevant security agencies.
