Professor Alkali NNPP chairman.

 Professor Rufai Alkali has been elected the national chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), at its Wednesday  Convention which was held in Abuja.

The convention also named Engr. Rabi Musa Kwankwaso, the new entrant to the party as its national leader.

The new executive committee of the party which was constituted by the convention had 39-man National Executive Committee members.

The convention elected and ratified the Deputy National Chairman, AVM Ifemeje John Chris (Retd); who was the Caretaker Committee Chairman, before the convention, National Secretary, Mr Dipo Olayoku; National Organizing Secretary, Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, and National Publicity Secretary, Major Gilbert Agbo.

Speaking at the event, Kwankwaso commended the support of his loyalists and supporters of the party.

Kwankwaso joined the Party on Tuesday, where Kwankwaso ward Chairman, Musa Kwankwaso registered and presented him with a card if the New Nigeria People’s Party in the presence of other ward members and national leaders of the Party.

In his speech, Kwankaso called for the registration of more Nigerians at the grassroots into the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.

He maintained that the party would produce leaders with empathy to rule Nigeria to secure it and ensure national prosperity.

He said: “What remains is for all of us to go back to the grassroots, our states and local governments to register ourselves and families and to tell all Nigerians to register with NNPP.

“We are all aware that the people are tired of the APC and PDP and that was why previous elections recorded low voter turnout. We thank God that we have fresh air for a better new Nigeria. People are tired and want change and the NNPP is the fresh air that can do it.”

He also berated the present administration for failing to tackle insecurity lamenting Monday’s train attack in Kaduna, leading to the killing, injury and kidnapping of passengers.

He urged Nigerians to see the NNPP as the credible option to provide good leadership for Nigeria.
