The chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kaduna State, Ben Kure, on Thursday, said he has resigned from his position.
Announcing this at a news conference in Kaduna on Thursday, Kure said he has high regard for the party’s presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, but the party has derailed in the state.
Noting that he has done enough for the growth of the party, Kure said several people left the party because of self-centredness.
“Under our watch, the party had nominated candidates to contest for various positions in the forthcoming 2023 General Elections, including the Gubernatorial candidate who emerged based on the goodwill of the party’s Presidential Candidate, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
“I, therefore, wish to inform you and all my supporters and associates that I have resigned as the Kaduna State chairman of NNPP and I am no longer a member of the party. I will take a rest, reflect on my political future and inform the public appropriately.
“I wish to inform you that I had forwarded my letter of resignation to the National Secretariat on December 5, 2022 but was persuaded to stay in order to settle all issues amicably.”
“We were invited and held a meeting, and last week the National Secretariat ordered us to meet and plan for the state rally and solidarity walk under my leadership, but the candidate and his supporters refused to comply with the National Secretariat directive.”
