“You would recall that during the window for replacement of some National Assembly Candidates in August, 2022, the INEC prematurely shut its Portal against us which made it impossible for us to complete the exercise.

“Engr. Buba Galadima and other Leaders and Elders as well as the generality of the members of the Party on this victory. We are using this medium to assure our members that no stone will be left unturned in our efforts to ensure that no bonafide Candidate of NNPP is deprived of the opportunity to take part in the 2023 General Elections.
