The National Secretary of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Oginni Olaposi Sunday, has slammed the party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Rabiu Kwankwaso, for securing an order from the Kano State High Court to stop his invitation, arrest and prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).
VOP News Understands that Oginni while addressing journalists in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, said the court order that Kwankwaso procured was too weak to protect him from the long arm of the law.
The NNPP chieftain noted that the magnitude of unprecedented corruption by successive governments and politicians in Nigeria had made nonsense of the nation’s democracy.
Oginni, who frowned at Kwankwaso’s decision to rush to court for protection, made it clear that as a law-abiding political party, NNPP approached the relevant government agency responsible for dealing with corruption in Nigeria.
He further urged Kwankwa to voluntarily submit himself to the anti-graft agency rather than unnecessary confrontation like the embattled former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.
