NNPP National Chairman, Rufai Alkali resigns
The National Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Prof. Rufai Alkali has resigned his appointment.
The chairman promised to remain a dedicated and law abiding member of the party.

He said he stepped down so that new faces can come on board and consolidate on the the party’s achievements so far.
He appreciated all leaders and stakeholders of the party for the privilege given to him.
He said he has achieved a lot within the brief moment he held the position as the number one citizen of the party.
The letter reads: ”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.
“Following keenly the events before, during and after the recent general election held on February 25 and March 18, 2023, it is my humble view that our party, the NNPP, has a great future and potential to emerge as the leading political force that is capable of winning the presidential and all other elections in 2027.”
“To achieve this, we must think ahead and plan ahead. And the time is now. Our great party, the New Nigeria Peoples Party will require major and fundamental structural and systemic changes and reorganisation at all levels of the party in order to strengthen its base, improve its operational capabilities and generally enhance its competitive advantage over and above all 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 in a better Nigeria through the astute leadership of our leader, His Excellency, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, I believe no sacrifice is too much from each and every one of us.
“I am convinced this change must start from me. This is precisely why I have decided, with all sense of responsibility, to step aside from the office of the National Chairman of our party to give room for fresh hands to take over to build upon and improve on our modest contributions. I wish I had done more.”
Alkali also commended the pioneer chairman of the party and the presidential candidate of the party in the February 25 presidential election, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
“I pray, may God bless and reward you all With His bountiful mercies and blessings. Long live the New Nigeria Peoples Party. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Alkali prayed.
