After leading his party to record some success in the 2023 polls, the National Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Prof. Rufai Alkali, has resigned from the position.
Alkali said he decided to quit as the chairman to “make room for fresh hands to come in and build on the successes recorded in the brief period he held sway.”
In a letter addressed to the National Secretary of the party, he indicated that the resignation took effect from Friday, March 31, 2023 and copied to the National Leader of the party and presidential candidate, Dr Rabiu Kwankwaso, the Chairman, Board of Trustees, Dr Boniface Aniebonam, and the Secretary, Board of Trustees, Buba Galadima.
The letter titled, ”Letter of stepping aside from the post of National Chairman, New Nigeria Peoples Party,” states: ”I am pleased to write and convey to you that I have stepped aside as the National Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party with effect from today, Friday March 31, 2023.
“Following keenly the events before, during and after the recent general election held on February 25 and March 18, 2023, it is my humble view that our party, the NNPP, has a great future and potential to emerge as the leading political force that is capable of winning the presidential and all other elections in 2027.”
“To achieve this, we must think ahead and plan ahead. And the time is now. Our great party, the New Nigeria Peoples Party will require major and fundamental structural and systemic changes and reorganisation at all levels of the party in order to strengthen its base, improve its operational capabilities and generally enhance its competitive advantage over and above all the other 17 political parties on the Independent National Electoral Commission nominal roll.
“Since, we as a party, all believe in and aspire to bring in a better Nigeria through the astute leadership of our leader, His Excellency, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, I believe no sacrifice is too much from each and every one of us.
