Breaking: Rufai Alkali resigns as NNPP National Chairman
New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) National Chairman, Rufai Alkali, has resigned.
Alkali made this known in a statement issued on Sunday, explaining that he resigned to give room for fresh hands to take over and improve on his modest achievements.
According to him, after keenly the events before, during and after the recent general elections held on 25th February and 18th March 2023, he now believes that NNPP has a great future.
Alkali said that he also believes that the party will 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 People’s Party will require major and fundamental structural and systemic changes.
“Reorganization at all levels of the party are needed 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 INEC 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 Musa Kwankwaso, I believe, no sacrifice is to much from each and every one of us.”
Alkali assured NNPP’s National Leader and presidential candidate, Sen Rabiu Kwankwaso, members of the National Working Committee (NWC) and the entire members nationwide that he remained a bonafide member of the party and pledged to serve and offer support to the party at all levels to ensure its continuous progress and advancement.
“I wish to also extend my special appreciation to our National Leader, Sen Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who in the last three years, offered me unique and rare opportunities to serve in various capacities from the formative stages of The National Movement (TNM) and after the merger between the TNM and the old NNPP was ultimately consummated. This rare privilege, I can not take for granted.”
“I wish to therefore extend my special and sincere appreciation to our National Leader, His Excellency Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso Ph.D. FNSE, our amiable vice-presidential candidate; Bishop Isaac Idahosa; our elder and Chairman Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Boniface Aniebonam; my brother the Secretary of BoT, Elder Buba Galadima.
“Others are members of the National Working Committee, our gubernatorial and National and states Houses of Assembly members and all our members nationwide for your goodwill, support and encouragement during my sojourn as national chairman of our great party, the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP). All honour and glory belongs to God and God alone who makes everything possible,” he added.
