Dr. Ajuji Ahmed, the National Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has affirmed his leadership, rejecting claims from a faction of the party. He stated that he remains the legitimate leader, as recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Ahmed confirmed that the party is operating under his leadership and the National Working Committee (NWC) inaugurated in 2022.
Dr. Ahmed emphasized that INEC officially recognizes the NNPP led by him, with its logo featuring the colors red, white, and yellow, alongside the emblem of an academic cap, symbolizing the party’s slogan, “Education for All.”
He urged Nigerians and the media to verify his leadership as listed on the INEC website.
Responding to a recent meeting organized by a faction of the party in Lagos, Dr. Ahmed dismissed it as illegal, claiming that the party had not held any meeting outside its headquarters in Abuja. He also refuted claims of the inauguration of a new leadership committee outside Abuja.
