2015: NNPP Promises Unity Govt

The New Nigerian Peoples Party ( NNPP), says it would imbibe the policy of unity government if the  party wins the governorship of Rivers State in the 2015 general election just as it said no political party should be  described as encyclopedia in political wisdom.

The Rivers State chairman of the party, Deacon Princewill Enyi, who stated this on Friday shortly after been reelected as the state chairman of the party in the state regretted that the ruling party, both in the state and the federal level has refused to form a unity government that would usher  technocrats to help provide ideas that could develop the state and the country.

According to him, the continued quest for unity government in Rivers State and the nation remains sacrosanct because a “loser today may be a winner tomorrow’’ as no political party is an encyclopedia of political knowledge and wisdom.

Deacon Enyi urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to rescind its decision and commence the funding of registered political parties at both the national and state levels, stressing that it cannot feign ignorance of the fact that in politics, money is the determining factor.

The NNPP boss commended party members for their support and informed them about the struggle for the emergence of a new Rivers State which has begun, noting that the time has come for the people of  the state to get it right having understudied the past and present political situation and likely future political scenario of the state.

“Rivers State is a project in the reckoning of God and so we must fulfill our destiny, not just for the sake of our party alone but for God and humanity,” he said.

While taking stock of the achievement in the last two years, he said the NNPP participated fully in all the elections in the state and nationally, explaining that the efforts at the state level have immensely contributed to the non-deregistration by the INEC at the national level with electoral act, INEC due processes and party internal democracy compliance as a yardstick.

He revealed that the contributions and waves the party made in the last general elections powered the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP), Rivers State chapter which nominated and pointed him their chairman,adding that, CNPP is an umbrella political body across Nigeria whose membership encompasses all registered political parties in the country.

Deacon Enyi, however, said that the New Nigerian People’s  Party (NNPP)  in the state would  not relent until the party gets to the corridors of power and serve the people well.

Those elected as the new executives of the party include, Deacon Princewill Enyi, chairman,Madam Tessy Isioma Tenda,state vice chairperson, Rivers East,Elder Adumisa Mark Nte,state vice chairman, Rivers South East, and Mr Dakah Famous ,state vice chairman, Rivers West.

Others are,Hon Alexander Ukaegbu state secretary,Benjamin Ebiolem, Assistant Secretary and Godpower T.Harry, state treasurer.
