Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, the founder of NNPP, denied Buba Galadima’s claim that the Federal Government is against the NNPP government in Kano State.
Aniebonam said in Lagos on Sunday that Nigerians should be careful of unverifiable statements about the Federal Government.
“With the challenges facing the nation, all leaders in Nigeria must be mindful of their statements.
“Nigeria belongs to all of us, and if there is an uprising, we will all be affected; thus, the a need to be cautious in our utterances.
“The NNPP is not against valid criticisms of government policies but we are against individuals who tend to use platforms they do not belong to, to peddle lies,” Aniebonam said.
Galadima mentioned on Channels TV that the Federal Government is at war with Governor Abba Yusuf’s government in Kano State.
Aniebonam made it clear that Galadima and a few others were expelled from the NNPP a while back, so they don’t have any authority to speak for the party.
“He ought to have known that there is a huge difference between NNPP and the Kwankwasiyya movement he runs with Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso.
“NNPP has long terminated its relationship with that movement.
“There is a need to differentiate between the Kwankwasiyya movement and the NNPP.
“Galadima and others have long been expelled from the NNPP at the expiration of terms of the MOU that brought us and the movement together and, therefore, can no longer speak for us in any capacity.”
He urged Nigerians to disregard the claim by Galadima.
“NNPP, as a party, is not under any form of attack in Kano State,” he said.
