NNPP denies membership of Coalition of Concerned political parties

The National Working Committee of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has denied membership to the Coalition of Concerned Political Parties.

The NNPP said this in a statement by its acting national chairman, Mr. Abba Ali, in Abuja.

“The attention of the leadership of the party has been drawn to newspaper reports of the formation of a coalition by the NNPP and some political parties, and it wishes to state emphatically that there is nothing of such.

“The reports that came out on Friday, December 8, 2023, indicated that our great party, the NNPP, the PDP, and some other political parties have formed a coalition.

“The NNPP is using this medium to reiterate that the report in all its material substance is false and is very far from the truth," he said.

Ali said that since the 2023 general elections, no official of the party has engaged with any political party, either individually or collectively, to discuss the issue of forming a coalition now or in the near future.

He urged Nigerians and the international community to disregard any news of the NNPP going into coalition with any political party or parties.

On Wednesday, seven opposition political parties were alleged to have formed CCPP to strengthen democracy in the country.

The coalition is comprised of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), Social Democratic Party (SDP), Peoples Allied Movement (PDM), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Young Progressives Party (YPP), and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).
