2027: Beware of impostors – NNPP warns Nigerians

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has issued a cautionary statement to Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general elections, warning against dealing with impostors who claim to represent the party. The party's founder, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, disclosed in a statement published in Abuja that some individuals expelled from the NNPP, confirmed by court judgments and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), have been impersonating party members in an attempt to extort money from unsuspecting political parties and candidates.

Aniebonam specifically cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC), the National Democratic Convention (NDC), and the Alliance for Democracy (ADC) to exercise extreme caution when interacting with individuals posing as representatives of other parties without valid credentials. He urged any contestants, coalition groups, or political parties who may have been deceived to contact the impostors for a refund of any money paid as contestant fees or for alliance.

According to Aniebonam, the NNPP is not affiliated with any coalition and remains an independent national political party. He emphasized that the party will inform the public of any decisions regarding strategic alliances with other political parties in the 2027 elections if necessary. The authentic NNPP, represented by its official logo with a basket of fruits, is the sole legitimate entity in the party, and it has the mandate to make decisions on behalf of the organization.

The recognized officials of the NNPP, as confirmed by INEC, include Dr. Boniface Aniebonam (Founder and Chairman of the Board of Trustees), Dr. Agbo Major (National Chairman), Mr. Oginni Olaposi (National Secretary), Prince Toyese (National Treasurer), and Aisha Kade Onyia (National Woman Leader).
