The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has said it was fully prepared for the rerun polls in some states come February 3, 2024.
Acting National Chairman of NNPP, Abba Kabir Yusuf, while briefing the press on Wednesday in Abuja, stated that names of the party’s candidates had been uploaded by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

“Let me inform the public that NNPP is fully prepared to take part in Saturday, February 3, 2024 Re-run and bye-elections in about 26 States of the Federation.
“INEC has published the names of our Candidates. We have also uploaded the particulars of our polling agents. We are therefore calling on Nigerians to cooperate with INEC to deliver a credible poll on Saturday.

“In the same vein, as you are all aware, INEC has fixed off-cycle elections for Edo and Ondo States to hold later in the year. The party had commenced the sale of forms for Edo State,” adding that “primaries will hold on February 23rd to pick our Candidate.”

He further said, “The sale of forms for Ondo will commence in April. At our end here, we are very busy with the administration of the party and we will never be distracted by this group of renegade political hooligans.”
He warned those who were expelled from parading themselves as authentic members of the party, saying the party would not hesitate to drag them to court.
