The New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, has obtained an interim injunction at the FCT High Court in Suit No. FCT/HC/CV/5518/2024, restraining a faction led by Boniface Aneibonam from parading themselves as members of the party and from purporting to hold congresses and a national convention.
In a statement, the national publicity secretary of the party, Ladipo Johnson, expressed satisfaction with the court’s order.
“Dr. Aneibonam and his co-travelers were expelled by the party, and since then, they have been willing tools in the hands of opposition parties, towing their line on issues and attempting to confuse the public about the rightful leadership, logo, and colors of the New Nigeria People’s Party,” he stated.
“The order of the court also restrains them, their agents, or servants from carrying out or undertaking any official activity for and on behalf of, or in the name of, the NNPP.
“Similarly, the court restrained INEC from receiving or replying to any correspondence from them or monitoring their illegal congresses.
“We are aware that these former members are being used to attempt to distract us. However, the party hopes that they will appear in court so that their illegal use of the party’s name can be brought to an end.”
