“Our client is a bona fide, member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and one of the candidates aspiring for the office of the Senate of Federal Republic of Nigeria under the prayed NNPP, to represent the people of Delta North Senatorial District in Delta state.

 

“Our client contested in the just concluded NNPP Primary Election that held on Saturday, 28th May 2022 at the Party Secretariat in Asaba, Delta state where he

contested with Dr. (Mrs.) Mariam Amodu Ali.”

 

The petition to the NNPP panel argued that the primary election was flawed on the following counts: Procedural irregularities that included, inflation of number

of votes of 150 accredited “delegates” announced before voting turned to 164 votes counted and announced after voting. Secondly, non-accreditation of “delegates” without proper validation of with party membership.

 

Secondly, Anti-party activities as contained in Article 7 of NNPP

Constitution that no member shall belong to more than one political party (1)“Membership of the

shall be open to every Nigerian irrespective of place of origin or ethnic background….” (3) “The person shall not be a member of any other political party

association….”

 

The petitioner adduced, “As at the time of this exercise and till now,

our client’s opponent, Dr. Mrs. Mariam Amodu Ali is still a card carrying member of the APC

in Ward 6, Oshimili South Local Government Area of Delta state.”

“Mrs. Ali did not resign nor denounce her membership of the APC orally

or formally, the very reason you will notice that she never made any public appearance or comments to identify with the NNPP either in print, electronic or social media as

she did loudly and when she joined the APC in November 2017,” the petition noted.
