Former Minister of Youth and Sports Solomon Dalung said on Wednesday that he is “not aware, privy, or part of” the formation of the New Nigeria People’s Party’s new executive (NNPP).
The National Movement (TNM), a political platform recently formed by Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former governor of Kano State, formally adopted the NNPP on Monday night.
The interim national chairman of the TNM, John Chris Ifeimeje, was quoted as saying after a seven-hour meeting in Abuja that the movement decided to adopt the NNPP to save Nigeria in 2023 from bad governance orchestrated by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Ifeimeje was also elected chairman of the NNPP’s National Caretaker Committee.
According to the Daily Trust, he named Dalung and Buba Galadima to the caretaker committee.
Dalung has now distanced himself from the situation.
The member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said he hasn’t changed his party membership yet.
My attention has been drawn to media reports linking my name to the interim leadership of the NNPP in the Daily Trust Newspapers and other online news sources.
This development is not only unusual, but also humiliating for me.
Such political developments are not something I am aware of, privy to, or a part of.
In light of the impending collapse of internal democracy in the two major political parties, many Coalition Movements are rethinking their strategies for 2023.
The National Movement is one of these like-minded political political groups dedicated to restoring democracy.
I am certain that it is in the national interest, not the political ambitions of any single member.
As a result, putting my name on a NNPP National Working Committee without my consent or due consultation is a poor political branding strategy used by desperate politicians.
I strongly advise the general public to ignore this action because it does not have my support.
If they have any conscience, those involved should apologize to me for dragging my name into their 2023 power permutations.
Let me restate my commitment to supporting a presidential candidate from the South who is not more than 60 years old.
I believe that zoning power to Southern Nigeria, particularly the youths, in 2023 is in the best interests of fairness, equity, justice, peace, and unity.
Because I have not changed my political affiliation, I consider that publication to be “Fake News,” which is unfounded and should be dismissed by all.
