NNPP Founder Aniebonam to Announce 2027 Candidate Soon
Dr Boniface Aniebonam, the Founder of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), stated that the party will soon announce a presidential candidate for the 2027 presidential election. He made this announcement in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
Aniebonam explained that prolonged litigation over the party's leadership hindered the timely selection of a suitable candidate. He noted that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) recognized Dr Agbo Major as the National Chairman of the NNPP, but the limited time available affected the candidate selection process.
Aniebonam mentioned that the party had a placeholder candidate while searching for a more authentic candidate with the necessary character and capacity. He acknowledged a previous mistake with Rabiu Kwankwaso in the 2023 election and emphasized that the NNPP is not desperate for power.
The party will involve its leadership and stakeholders in the selection process and confirmed that it will not contest the presidency in 2027 but aims to have a candidate by 2031.
