Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Dr Boniface Aniebonam, founder of the New Nigeria People\u2019s Party (NNPP) says the Appeal Court ruling sacking Gov. Abba Yusuf, its governor in Kano, is a rude shock to the party.<\/p>\n

Aniebonam, while reacting to the Appellate Court\u2019s ruling on Friday invalidating Yusuf\u2019s victory at the poll, said that only the party could determine who its members are and not the court.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain a rude shock to me hearing the verdict of the appeal court in Abuja against the governor of Kano state, Abba Yusuf of NNPP.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do know that it is only the NNPP and its members that can determine who is a member of the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also know that a party and its members can bring into the party, and grant such a person a waiver to go into the election and represent the party in an election.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also know and believe that it is only someone who contested nomination under NNPP that can challenge the membership of the party in an election.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the contrary, no other person has the right to raise an objection,\u201d Aniebonam said in a statement on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He, however, said that the NNPP still believed that justice would not only be done but seen to have been done.<\/p>\n

The founder said: \u201cOur hope is alive ahead of the Supreme Court judgment in due time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hereby encourage all members of our great party and indeed the indigenes of Kano in particular to keep faith with the final decision of God under these avoidable circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n
