The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has suspended its National Secretary, Oladipupo Olayokun, for alleged anti-party among others.

Olayokun, who is also a member of the National Working Committee of the NNPP, was suspended by the executive members of his local constituency in Ward 5, Abeokuta South Local Government Area of Ogun State.

The letter titled: “Notice of Suspension” was signed by 25 members of the executive team of the ward, including 25 other ward members.

The NNPP presidential candidate in the last election, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, and the founder of the party, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam were in copy of the letter.

The letter accused Olayokun of involvement in anti-party activities, negligence of duty and encouraging factionalism in the party.

The party also accused him of masterminding the crisis in Ogun NNPP.

The letter read in part: “The suspension of your membership is due to total neglect of NNPP at the ward level realising you never participated in any party activities.

“In the same Vein, your refusal to vote either for the presidential candidate or the governorship candidate of NNPP at the last general election was an act of gross indiscipline that must not go unpunished.

“Our investigation at the ward level showed clearly that you committed various offences in contravention to Article 39.2 subsections 1, 2,4,5,6,7 and 11 of NNPP’s 2022 Constitution as amended. Consequently we advise you to stop parading yourself as a member and national secretary of this party.”
