The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has indefinitely suspended its candidate for the November 16, 2024, governorship election in Ondo State, Olugbenga Edema, along with his running mate, Rotimi Adeyemi. This decision, made by the State Working Committee (SWC) in Akure, was due to alleged anti-party activities and violation of the party’s constitution involving Isreal Ayeni, a chieftain of the NNPP.
The NNPP chairman, Pastor Peter Olagookun, revealed that Edema took legal action against the party without utilizing the internal resolution mechanisms. The SWC’s decision aimed to reinforce the importance of adhering to the party’s protocols, emphasizing unity and proper procedure. Such developments highlight the challenges within Nigerian political parties, stressing the significance of cohesive leadership.
