The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) have faulted statements by interim National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Bolaji Abdullahi, alleging that the ruling party is sponsoring attacks on the coalition and or the frontline political parties 

The ADC had on Monday accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of targeting its leaders in the North East and North West, to undermine the opposition coalition formed to challenge him in the 2027 elections.

The ADC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, stated that the coalition would not stand by and watch a few desperate individuals push Nigeria toward a one-party system.

Recall that the coalition on July 12, adopted the ADC as it's political platform for the 2027 presidential election and other elections 

In a statement by its National Secretary, Olaposi Oginni, the NNPP insisted that politicians must be careful of their utterances to avoid triggering public disorder.

The NNPP said Abdullahi should limit his unfounded allegations to ADC and not include other political parties including the NNPP. 

"Nigeria is facing so much challenges that people may likely misinterpret statements that tend to be unfriendly to the greater numbers 

"Ordinarily, the NNPP would not have bothered to respond to the ADC allegations against the ruling party, if Abdullahi had not mentioned the NNPP in one of his interviews and live appearances in the national televisions. 

 "Abdullahi should exclude NNPP from the unfounded assertion that APC is sponsoring attacks on opposition parties.

"It is surprising to members of NNPP on how he came about this belief when he is not a member of our great party", Oginni said.

Oginni said that NNPP's internal leadership crisis is not sponsored by APC but created by Rabiu Kwankwaso and those the party called his unemployed characters in an attempt to hijack the party. 

The NNPP said that so far, it had no reasons to think that the APC is responsible for its internal leadership crisis. 

The party maintained that the leadership crisis in NNPP had nothing to do with APC, or Tinubu led administration but borne out of ‘avoidable corruption and betrayal of trust’ by senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Buba Galadima to take over the leadership of the party, even when the Memorandum of Understanding had expired.
