NNPP denies coalition says reports are false

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has officially denied any involvement in the recently announced Coalition of Concerned Political Parties.

In a statement released on December 8th, 2023, by their acting national chairman, Mr Abba Ali, the NNPP declared, “The NNPP is using this medium to reiterate that the report in all its material substance is false and is very far from the truth.”

Mr Ali further emphasized that no official party representative has engaged in discussions of forming a coalition with any other party, either individually or collectively, since the 2023 general elections.

He urged Nigerians and the international community to “disregard any news of the NNPP going into coalition with any political party or parties.”

It was reported that a group of seven opposition political parties on Wednesday formed a new coalition in a bid to strengthen democracy in the country.

The coalition comprised the Peoples Democratic Party, African Democratic Congress, Social Democratic Party, Peoples Allied Movement, New Nigeria Peoples Party, Young Progressives Party, and Zenith Labour Party.
