The spokesperson of the relaunched New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP). Ambassador Agbo Major has said that they have moved from a ‘third force’ party to a top one in Nigeria, saying that the NNPP remains a party to beat in the 2023 general elections.
Amb. Agbo Major made this known on Thursday while speaking with news men in the party secretariat in Abuja.
He expresses optimism that with the response of Nigerians toward the party’s activities in the recent times, NNPP will do well in the forth coming general elections.
He noted that though NNPP was recently relaunched, the party was registered about 21 years ago.
According to him, “We have just conducted ward congresses in all the local government areas across the country. The local government congresses and states congresses as well as national convention were also conducted peacefully.
He said Nigerians will continue to embrace the NNPP because of the failure of the parties that have been in power since since the returned of democracy in 1999 till date.
He said in order to encourage youths, women and people living with disabilities, the party has announced zero Kobo for the purchase of Expression of Interest Form and 50% discount for Nomination Form.
“Going towards 2023, we are now bigger. The party has been repositioned and still repositioning.
“In the past six months, we have opened our doors to Nigerians and you can see the influx of people across all levels, because of that we have expanded structurally and reengineered the leadership across all levels and the leadership structure across all divides was dissolved prior to the March 30th National convention.
“We have started the process of rebuilding across all the levels. We started from the wards. We now have a fresh ward structure in place across all wards in the country.
“We got the 36 states and FCT reconstituted with fresh leadership, people with fresh ideas and capacity.”
“The NNPP is the only party in Nigeria that has offered the youths less than 35 years of age fifty percent discount for the purchase of nomination forms. This has led to an influx of youths to the party and the party is equal to the task as it has put in place all measures to avoid rancour during the election.’
Meanwhile, he boasted that in some states more than 500 aspirants have obtained Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms.
We’re no longer called ‘Third Force’ but ‘First Force’ party-Says NNPP spokesperson
