The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has assured Nigerians good and effective leadership, saying the party was being repositioned to provide credible leadership and governance.
The party gave the assurance at its 2025 elective National Convention, which was held on Tuesday night in Lagos and attended by party delegates and officers at the national and state levels.
At the convention, Dr Agbo Major emerged as the party’s new National Chairman. Other elected officers are Mr Oginni Olaposi, National Secretary; Chief Felix Chukwurah, Deputy National Chairman (South); Mr Adetoyese Omokanye, National Treasurer; Alhaji Babayo Muhammed, Deputy National Chairman (North); and Abdulrasaq Abdulsallam, National Publicity Secretary.
Delegates also elected Hajia Aisha Kade as its national woman leader, Chief Edward Ofomona as its national youth leader, and Omolara Johnson as national organising secretary, among others.
In his welcome address, the BOT Secretary, Alhaji Mohammed Babayo, said the party remained united and focused on its vision of providing credible leadership and governance that would prioritise Nigerians’ needs.
Babayo said that the resolve to move forward was collective, and any speculation to the contrary would be baseless.
He urged the newly elected executives to lead the party with diligence, integrity and dedication.
“The task ahead is enormous, but with unity, hard work and clear vision, we will continue strengthening the NNPP and position it as an actual vehicle for change in Nigeria.
Also speaking, the new national chairman, Major, urged all aggrieved members of the party to return home and contribute toward its development.
‘’I thank all delegates here today for this tremendous confidence reposed on me. I won’t take this trust for granted. The NWC under me, as elected today, is poised to deliver. We are committed to repositioning our party for 2027, which we will do vigorously.
“I urge all other elected officials to key into this new move to reposition our dear party for optimal performance. We will not tolerate anything short of the expected standards and benchmarks drawn to keep you on your toes.’’
