Ademola Ayoade, the chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party’s South West zonal office, has stated that the party’s new logo was approved by both the National Executive Committee and the national convention.
During the party’s recent national convention, which took place over the weekend, the NNPP officially approved the appointment of new members to the National Working Committee and unveiled a new logo. However, on Wednesday, Adebisi Olopoeyan and Kilamiwaye Badmus, both NNPP members from the South West, accused Rabiu Kwankwaso of making unilateral decisions and asserted that he did not consult stakeholders prior to revealing the new logo.
Olopoeyan stated, “We rejected the logo here in Oyo State. They consulted nobody, and those that decided on the new logo chose what was best for Kwankwasiya Movement and the people
Naturally, it is clear from reading between the lines that our political rivals are making use of them. It’s a low-cost form of blackmail meant to sow division within the group.
As Olopoeyan acknowledged, the logo change was urgent, and as part of our constitution reform, it was ratified by the NWC, NEC, and national convention. Thus, it underwent the appropriate democratic process.
“The public should ignore their actions as they are malicious, deceptive, and false.”
Ayoade further revealed that there was no court order halting the convention, despite assertions to the contrary.
He made it clear that earlier legal challenges to the party’s leadership had been rejected for being unfounded.
