We’re ready to wrestle power from APC, PDP in Ogun – NNPP

The Ogun State chapter of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, has said the party is ready to wrestle power from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state.

The newly elected Chairman of the party, Barrister John Aina, made this declaration during his inauguration on Thursday.

The inauguration was attended by the governorship candidate of the party in 2023, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, South West Publicity Secretary of the party, Hon Kilamuwaye Badmus, and other party leaders in the state.

Other elected officers who were inaugurated along with the Chairman are; Prince Ibrahim Adekunle (Deputy Chairman), Alhaja Sakirat Idris Arowolo (Secretary) Hon. Olayemi Omokehinde Olowu (Public Relations Officer), Sefiu Musa (Treasurer) and Comrade Oluwatoyin Afuye (Financial Secretary).

Also inaugurated on Thursday are Comrade Oyegbemi Kehinde (Liason Officer) El-Hark Abdullahi Adeniyi (Deputy Treasurer) Alfa Sheriffdeen (Deputy PRO), Hon Gboga Moses (Ex-officio 1), Samuel Abiodun (Welfare Officer).

The trio of Hon Akingbala Semiu, Hon Folusho Adekunle, and Hon Atele Jeremiah were inaugurated as Chairman of Ogun Central, Ogun East, and Ogun West respectively.

Aina, while speaking, expressed determination that “the party is ready to wrestle power from APC and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2027”.

The new Chairman, while addressing the gathering, promised that his election will mark a new beginning for the party in the state.

He affirmed that the party has become a formidable one to contend with at the state and at national levels.

“I want members to know that it is going to be a new beginning. There is going to be a new NNPP in Ogun state. That is why I have made a covenant with our members that since they have elected me as the new Chairman of this party, I am going to deliver.

“I will ensure that whoever is going to contest election in Ogun State, under any political party, will have NNPP to compete with.

“I am very grateful to all the members of our party for their great decision to choose me as the new Chairman of the NNPP in Ogun State,” he said.

Chairman of the Congress Committee, Mallam Dogodama, expressed his gladness in the peaceful and successful nature of the Congress.

“We have done the Wards and Local Governments Congresses. The process was quite successful because, at the Wards and Local Governments Congresses, we had consensus. I am grateful to our members for their peaceful nature. NNPP will remain stronger and stronger in this state. NNPP is the only party now being loved by Nigerians.

“PDP has failed, APC has failed. There is only one way and that is the NNPP. Nigerians are thinking of only NNPP now because the party has a clear objective for a new Nigeria. All the problems we have in Nigeria is what the NNPP is trying to solve. The other two parties have had their time and they have failed. So it is better for Nigerians to look the other way, and that other way is NNPP,” Dogodama said.
