ABEOKUTA – The National Leadership of New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has warned Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission (OGSIEC) not to change the logo of the party on its ballot for the 2024 local government election in the state.
The party in a letter addressed to the commission’s chairman, Barr. Osibodu signed by its National Secretary, Sunday Oginni Olaposi said a group by Kwankwasiya purportedly wanted to change the party logo with connivance of some unscrupulous elements in INEC.
Oginni said the party symbol remains the basket of fruits.
Oginni further emphasized that the logo has been in use for the past 22 years and that the party has no intention of changing the logo for whatever reason.
The letter addressed to the Chairman of Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission is with the title;
NEW NIGERIA PEOPLE’S PARTY (NNPP) LOGO AND SYMBOLS REMAINED UNCHANGED states that “The Original Logo and Symbol of NNPP remained unchanged”.
The letter further stated that the purported attempt by the group of highjackers known as Kwankwasiya group with the connivance of some unscrupulous elements in INEC to change the original logo of the party was a ruse.
He said the party has communicated the rejection of the change of logo to INEC as well.
In the same vein, the leadership of New Nigeria People’s Party has approached the Federal High Court Abuja to challenge the illegal Kwankwasiya group convention that brought in the illegal change of logo asking the court to declare all the actions of the Kwankwasiya’s group a nullity.
He, urged OGSIEC in the respect of the rule of law and development of the nation’s democracy not to tamper with the “original logo” of NEW NIGERIA PEOPLE’S PARTY (NNPP) that has been in existence and usage for the past 22 years.
