The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has filed a petition against its former 2023 Presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and 13 others, accusing them of mismanaging party funds.

The party alleges that Kwankwaso used the NNPP platform for personal gain and the propagation of the Kwankwasia movement, rather than genuinely contesting in the presidential election.

The NNPP claims that after Kwankwaso was given the opportunity to run for President, the National Executive Committee was dissolved and new officers were elected, which led to the current situation.

The petition, signed by the National Secretary Oginni Olaposi Sunday, was submitted to the EFCC on May 2, 2024, with the hope of addressing the alleged fraud.
