In a similar development, the party has also written a letter dated Friday, August 2, 2023, to inform the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), about the development.
In the letter addressed to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) titled: “Letter of Introduction”, the party informed the country’s electoral umpire that the National Working Committee (NWC) of NNPP at its meeting in July 2023, approved the extension of the appointment of Hon. Prince Ibrahim Adekunle as the Chairman, Caretaker Committee of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Ogun State for three months with effect from July 28, 2023.
The party said the decision to appoint Adekunle as the Ogun State Caretaker Chairman followed the expulsion of the former Chairman, Comrade Sunday Olaposi Oginni, for anti-Party activities and the dissolution of the State Executives under him.
The party called on INEC to accord Adekunle the due recognition and assistance he deserved.
This development has laid to rest the issue of who is the authentic Chairman of the party in Ogun State.
