The National Movement (TNM), led by Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former Governor of Kano State, has adopted the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) as the political platform to pursue its aim of gaining power in the 2023 general elections.
The National Chairman of the Party’s Caretaker Committees, Retired AVM John Ifeimeje, disclosed this at a press conference held by the movement’s Protem leadership on Monday in Abuja
TNM, launched on Feb. 22, is a group of concerned and patriotic Nigerians from all the 36 states and the FCT who are worried about the state of the nation and agreed to work together to win elections in 2023.
Ifeimeje said that in pursuance of the objectives of the TNM, the movement resolved to fuse to and adopt NNPP to further their struggle to rescue the country from alleged maladministration, incompetence and impunity, insecurity and corruption and poverty, among others.
“The TNM has therefore fused together with the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
“Members of the TNM have adopted and agreed to join the NNPP because of the overwhelming similarity between the Party and TNM.
“The similarity is in their aims and objectives, their mission and vision, their core values and core beliefs as well the shared patriotic tendencies of the leaders and members of both the NNPP and the TNM.”
Ifeimeje said that the fusion of the two leading Nigerian patriotic fronts had already been consummated.
He added that NNPP has already appointed Caretaker Committees at State and National levels with the mandate of, among other things, conducting congresses and conventions to elect substantive executives
