The New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) has called on critical security agencies most especially the Department of State Security Services not to treat the United States accusation that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is one of the major financiers of terrorism in Nigeria with a kid glove.
In a statement signed by its National Secretary, Comrade Olaposi Sunday Oginni, the party on Thursday night made it clear that no single individual is greater than the country especially when accusations on issues of national security is involved.
Our dealings with Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso from the last three years that he joined our party clearly revealed that " he is not a peaceful man. He brought confusion l, ethnic and religious hatred into the political party that had existed peacefully for 22 years before he joined".
It is very sad that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso "terrorized" everyone he met in New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) including the Founder of Our Party, Dr Boniface Aniebonam who gave him the platform to contest in 2023 without payment of a dime.
The unholy attitude of Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso during his short sojourn in New Nigeria People's Party showed clearly that his intention was to, through violence, highjack the party in a manner similar to acts of terrorism. Kwankwaso's ingratitude and deliberate attempt to steal the intellectual property of a Christian brother from the Southern part of Nigeria clearly showed that he is not a man to be trusted. He planted discord between the North and South using ethnic and religious sentiments. We are therefore not surprised that the US Congress has listed him allegedly as a terrorist and this has confirmed our fears about Kwankwaso.
Secondly, Nigerians should not forget in a hurry that the Election Petition Tribunal that sat in Kano during the 2023 also labelled the Kwankwasia group led by Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as a terrorist group. This allegation led to the sudden relocation of the Tribunal to Abuja from where judgement was delivered virtually.
It is also on record that the leadership of New Nigeria People's Party, shortly after the 2023 election terminated the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Kwankwasia group and subsequently expelled Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for corruption and anti party activities. Therefore, we are appealing to the United States and the Federal Government of Nigeria not to link our great party (NNPP) with Kwankwaso's alleged act of terrorism.
The Federal Government of Nigeria should take the bull by the horn by making sure that all private individuals and groups linked with terrorism are dealt with without fear or favour. " Nobody should play politics with blood sucking groups terrorizing innocent Nigerians"
We hereby call for immediate arrest and investigation of everyone linked with terrorism and banditry in Nigeria. The Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration should take up the challenge and walk the talk for the protection and safety of all Nigerians.
