Prof. Rufai Alkali steps down as NNPP chairman

Prof. Rufai Alkali, the National Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has resigned from his position.

In a letter to the party’s national secretary, Alkali reaffirmed this.

He claimed that the reason he chose to leave was to make room for a new leader to step in.

“I am certain that I must be the first to change.

“For this reason, I have made the responsible decision to resign from my position as our party’s national chairman in order to make room for new leadership that will build upon and enhance our modest contributions.
