The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has clarified that its chairmen across the 34 local government areas in Katsina State are still intact and none has defected to the ADC or any other party.

The chairman of the party in the State, Alhaji Armaya’u Abdulkadir, stated this in a statement issued in Katsina on Monday.

According to him, false publication have been made in some media organizations and circulated across social media that NNPP local government chairmen in Kastina were defecting to the ADC.

He debunked the claims clarifying that those who defected were from the APC and not NNPP.

He said, “The attention of the NNPP Katsina chapter has been drawn to some publications made in some media organisations and circulated in the social media.

“The publication revealed that 34 NNPP local government chairmen have defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

“The defection, as it was reported, was through the former secretary to the state government, Alhaji Mustapha Inuwa, in Katsina State.

“It is on record, however, that some of our chairmen, after the 2023 presidential elections, defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC).

“Thus, these same people are the ones that defected to the ADC from the APC. Therefore, their defection was from APC, not from NNPP.”
