Hon. Mrs.  Agol remains NNPP Edo Gubernatorial candidate

The leadership of the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) has maintained its stand on the candidature of Hon. Mrs Agol Ebun Tracy as the party's flag bearer in the forthcoming September 7, Edo 2020 gubernatorial election. 

The party in a statement signed by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary Hon. Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba said "It's so pathetic that in a desperate bid to attract more attention, some supporters of governor Godwin Obaseki have descended so low as to spread unbelievable humourous propaganda that 35 political parties have collapsed their structures to support Obaseki, whereas presently, there are only 18 political parties in Nigeria. This makes it amusing and exposes how desperate some people can be to the extent of not verifying the believability of their propaganda before spreading it".

Therefore, the NNPP wishes to set the record straight on the position of the party. The gubernatorial candidate for the NNPP remains Hon Mrs Agol Ebun Tracy and we are actively promoting her, being fully confident that she will emerge as the next governor of Edo State and break record as the first female governor in Nigeria. Hence, there is no way a party that has and promoting her own candidate can go ahead to endorse another candidate (of another political party).

In the light of the above, we advise the proponent of the falsehood not to in any form include the name of our great party, the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) in their unbelievable propaganda for any reason.
