The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has issued a warning to the public against dealing with individuals who claim to be leaders or candidates of the party but are actually impostors. According to the party's founder, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, these impostors have been expelled from the party and have no authority to act on its behalf. The warning is aimed at preventing unsuspecting individuals and parties from being duped.

The NNPP also clarified that it has not joined any coalition or working arrangements with other political parties for the 2027 general elections. Dr. Aniebonam stated that the party is independent and will make its own decisions regarding strategic alliances if the need arises. The party's leadership, recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), includes Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, Dr. Agbo Major, Mr. Oginni Olaposi, Prince Toyese, and Aisha Kade Onyia.

The impostors, according to the NNPP, have been parading themselves as leaders of the party with the intention of extorting money from unsuspecting individuals and parties. The party specifically mentioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as parties that should be cautious. The NNPP advised anyone who has been duped by these impostors to seek a refund from them.

The NNPP's warning is a timely one, given the approaching 2027 general elections. The party's leadership is keen to prevent any confusion or misrepresentation that could harm the party's reputation or lead to financial losses for others. By clarifying its position on coalitions and authentic leadership, the NNPP aims to maintain transparency and credibility.

Dr. Aniebonam emphasized that the authentic NNPP, with its basket of fruits logo, is not a member of any coalition. He stated that the party will announce any decisions regarding strategic alliances with other parties if the need arises. This suggests that the NNPP is open to collaborations but will do so in a transparent and official manner.

The NNPP's leadership, as recognized by INEC, includes several key officials. These are Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, founder and Chairman Board of Trustees; Dr. Agbo Major, National Chairman; Mr. Oginni Olaposi, National Secretary; Prince Toyese, National Treasurer; and Aisha Kade Onyia, Woman Leader. These officials are authorized to speak and make decisions on behalf of the party.

The NNPP's warning and clarification are aimed at maintaining the integrity of the party and preventing confusion ahead of the 2027 general elections. The party's commitment to transparency and credibility is evident in its clear communication of its position on coalitions and authentic leadership.
