The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), led by Dr Boniface Aniebonam, has blamed INEC for its setbacks in concluding screenings and fixing its primaries for aspirants of the party.
The party also said that with no option left, it might have to mobilise for protest against the commission in Abuja.
Recall that the party shelved its planned protest against INEC over delays in uploading the authentic leadership of the party to its website, following appeals by well-meaning Nigerians that it might be hijacked by hooligans to cause mayhem.
However, in a statement on Thursday, the party’s national secretary, Mr Ogini Olaposi, stated that INEC is again pushing the NNPP to the wall with inexplicable delays that might deny the party its rights to fully participate in the 2027 general elections.
