The race toward the 2027 general elections has hit a chaotic turn as the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) officially disowned all ongoing political coalition talks, issuing a stern warning against “impostors” posing as party decision-makers.
In a hard-hitting press statement issued in Abuja by the party’s founder and Board of Trustees Chairman, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, the NNPP revealed that expelled members—whose dismissals were affirmed by court judgments and INEC—have been illegally parading themselves as party executives. These unauthorized figures have allegedly been collecting nomination fees and striking fake merger deals with unsuspecting political parties and ambitious candidates ahead of 2027.
Dr. Aniebonam did not mince words, telling anyone who paid money for alliances or candidacy through these expelled members to go back and demand a full refund immediately. He reiterated that the authentic NNPP—identifiable by its iconic fruit basket logo—remains completely independent and has not joined any political coalition or working arrangement.
To clear up the confusion, the party re-listed its court-recognized national executive leadership, confirming that Dr. Agbo Major remains the legitimate National Chairman authorized to conduct party affairs alongside INEC. While the NNPP noted that it might consider strategic alliances in the future if necessary, any official decision will come directly through verified leadership channels rather than unauthorized third parties.
This bold move serves as a massive wake-up call for politicians shopping for 2027 platforms. Do you think party coalitions will shape the 2027 elections, or will independent parties hold their ground? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
