The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has described as “false and is very far from the truth,” reports that he has joined some opposition political parties in a gang up referred to as Coalition of Concerned Political Parties, CCPP.
The CCPP was reportedly formed by seven opposition political parties led by the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Wednesday.
Other parties listed as members of the CCPP reportedly formed to strengthen democracy in Nigeria were the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Social Democratic Party (SDP), Peoples Allied Movement (PDM), New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Young Progressives Party (YPP) and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP)
In the same vein, the NNPP, in a statement by its National Working Committee, NWC, on Friday said it has not discussed the issue of forming a coalition now or in the near future with any other party.
The NNPP, in a statement by its acting National Chairman, Mr Abba Ali in Abuja, said, “The attention of the leadership of the party has been drawn to newspaper reports of the formation of a coalition by NNPP and some political parties and wishes to state emphatically that there is nothing of such.
“The reports which came out on Friday, Dec. 8, 2023, indicated that our great party, the NNPP, PDP and some other political parties have formed a coalition.
“The NNPP is using this medium to reiterate that the report in all its material substance is false and is very far from the truth, ” he said.
Ali said that since the 2023 General Elections, no official of the party had engaged with any political party, either individually or collectively, to discuss the issue of forming a coalition now or in the nearest future.
He therefore urged Nigerians and the international community to disregard any news of the NNPP going into coalition with any political party or parties.
