The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has affirmed Dr Mubarak Saliu Musa as the authentic party candidate for the November governorship polls.
The party, in a press release by its national publicity secretary, Dr Agbo Major in Abuja on Friday, said Mubarak won the governorship primary election in Lokoja, the state capital and which was duly monitored by the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
NNPP dissociated itself from any other person claiming to be the party’s governorship candidate in the state and warned the impostor to desist from his campaign of calumny forthwith or face the full weight of the law as there is no faction in the party.
“Dr Mubarak Saliu Musa is the authentic New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) governorship candidate for Kogi State with Tanimu Idris as running mate.
“The national leadership of the party, Kogi State Chapter and stakeholders in the quest for a better Kogi State are all in support of Dr Musa’s candidature and have been campaigning vigorously for him and his running mate, Tanimu Idris to win the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the State as the party did in Kano State recently.
“A man of enormous intellectual capacity, honour and integrity, Dr Mubarak Saliu Musa is the most credible and competent candidate for governor of Kogi State.
“As a grassroots political party, NNPP is strongly determined to win the Kogi State governorship poll and will not tolerate any distraction in the patriotic zeal to transform the state to a modern industrial one and deliver dividends of democracy to the long-suffering and marginalized people,” he said.
NNPP urged the electorate to vigorously support, campaign and elect Dr Mubarak as the next governor of Kogi state come November 2023.
