New Nigeria Peoples Party, has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, to update its records on the party’s National Executive Committee, membership says Rabiu Kwankwaso, others remain expelled.
The party in a statement on Saturday by its Board of Trustees, BoT, Chairman, Dr Temitope Aluko, also urged the media to respect the NNPP constitution by recognising only officers duly elected in accordance with the party’s constitution.
Mr Aluko said that NNPP chieftains like Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso and the entire membership of the old National Working Committee, NWC, led by Abbah Kawu had since been expelled and INEC appropriately and duly informed in that regard.
He noted that INEC had no powers to meddle in the internal affairs of a political party.
“Once again, may we use this public space to remind the INEC, through its Chairman, that we have requested for the urgent need to update their records of the National Executive Committee of the NNPP.
“It is instructive to indicate herein that the constitution of the NNPP is supreme and binding on all members, without prejudice to the overarching Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Electoral Act.
“With the nation’s Constitution being the unquestionable groundnorm, every other establishment in Nigeria derives its powers of establishment and operations from the said Constitution,” Mr Aluko said.
