Ogun NNPP Expels Chairman, Oginni, Another Over Anti-Party Activities

The Ogun State chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Comrade Sunday Oginni Olaposi, has been expelled by the national leadership of the party.
Oginni, who has been at the centre of controversies bothering on financial irregularities and other questionable conduct, especially following the last gubernatorial elections in the state, was expelled
today in Abuja
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Dr. Agwo Major, who announced the expulsion via a release, said it followed a meeting of the NNPP National Working Committee.
Dr. Major said Oginni’s expulsion alongside his Delta state counterpart, Dr. Efe Tobor centred on anti-party activities, describing the development as disheartening.
He said Oginni was among members of the party who openly
aligned with other parties in the last election.
“You will agree with me that no party worth its salt will condone such a misdemeanor.
“Unfortunately, some States Chairmen and their Executives, apart from very loud anti-Party activities were accused of a plethora of wrongdoings which negated their oath of office.
This prompted the National Working Committee (NWC) to set up a Disciplinary Committee to investigate three States, Edo, Delta, and Ogun”.
Dr. Mayor added that while the Edo State Chairman appeared before the Disciplinary Committee “the Delta State Chairman, Chief Efe Tobor and his Ogun State counterpart, Comrade Sunday Olappsi Ogini failed to appear on the two occasions they were invited.
“Consequently, the NWC met on Thursday, April 27, 2023, and came up with the following decisions:
“That both the Chairman NNPP in Delta State, Chief Efe Tobor and his Ogun State counterpart, Comrade Olaposi Sunday Ogini have been expelled from the party, with effect from Thursday, April 27, 2023”.

He added the Executives from the State, down to the Local Government and Ward levels in Delta and Ogun States have equally been dissolved effective Thursday, April 27, 2023.

According to him, “the expulsion of both Chief Efe Tobor and Comrade Sunday Olaposi Ogini will be taken to the National Executive Committee (NEC) and the National Convention for ratification.
Further development on these two States and others will be made public”
On upcoming gubernatorial elections, Dr Major said the NNPP demands free, fair, credible, transparent, inclusive and peaceful governorship elections”.
He said the polls, coming up in Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa States were critical for sustainable democracy in Nigeria, and that the will and mandate of the people must be respected.
“The party urges INEC to provide a level playing field for all the political parties and their candidates participating in the elections, and ensure that every vote is counted and counted in the overall results.
“This implies that the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) will function excellently, maximally and optimally.
“Nigerians will not tolerate any excuse for poor performance from INEC.
“We must get it right this time and redirect the ship of the nation to the path of rectitude, progress, development and advancement”, the party added.
