Professor Rufai Alkali, National Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, has resigned.
Alkali, who made the decision in a letter to the party’s National Secretary, cited the need to make room for new faces to come in and build on the successes he achieved during his brief tenure as National Chairman of the party.
“I am pleased to write and convey to you that I have stepped aside as the National Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party with effect from today, Friday March 31, 2023,” said the letter titled “Letter of stepping aside from the office of National Chairman, New Nigeria Peoples Party.”
“After closely monitoring the events leading up to, during, and following the recent general elections on February 25 and March 18, 2023, it is my humble opinion that our party, the NNPP, has a bright future and the potential to emerge as the leading political force capable of winning the presidential and all other elections in 2027.”
“To do this, we must think ahead and plan ahead .” And the moment has come. Our great party, the New Nigeria Peoples Party, will require major structural and systemic changes and reorganization at all levels of the party in order to strengthen its base, improve its operational capabilities, and generally increase its competitive advantage over the other 17 political parties on the Independent National Electoral Commission nominal roll.
“Since we as a party all believe in and aspire to bring about a better Nigeria under the astute leadership of our leader, His Excellency, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, I believe no sacrifice is too much for any of us.”
“I am sure that this transformation must begin with me. This is precisely why, with a heavy heart, I have chosen to step aside as National Chairman of our party in order to allow for fresh hands to build on and improve on our modest contributions. I wish I had done more.
“By this letter, I also wish to inform our National Leader and Presidential Candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, members of the National Working Committee, and all of our members nationwide that I am still and will remain a bona fide member of our party, and I pledge to serve and support our party at all levels to ensure our party’s continued progress and advancement.”
He thanked the party’s National Leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, the vice-presidential candidate, Bishop Isaac Idahosa, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Chief Boniface Aniebonam, the Secretary of the Board of Trustees, Buba Galadima, members of the National Working Committee, governorship and National/state House of Assembly members, and all members nationwide for their goodwill, support, and encouragement during his tenure as the party’s leader.
“I beseech God to bless and reward you all with His bountiful mercies and blessings.” The New Nigeria Peoples Party will live on. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
The letter was copied to the party’s National Leader and presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Rabiu Kwankwaso; Chairman, Board of Trustees, Boniface Aniebonam; and Secretary, Board of Trustees, Buba Galadima.
