NNPP lacks capacity to win election in Lagos for now: Founder
The Founder of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Dr Boniface Aniebonam, has said the party does not have capacity to win election in Lagos State at the moment.
Mr Aniebonam disclosed this during an interview while reacting to the party’s chances in the forthcoming by-election in Surulere I Federal Constituency.
“For now, Lagos State election is a serious election. For me, I don’t think that we have the capacity to win an election in Lagos State for now. Maybe in the future, we will try to see what we can do to win election in Lagos State,’’ Mr Aniebonam said.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission said that 12 candidates of different political parties would be contesting in the February 3 by-election, excluding the NNPP.
The seat became vacant following the resignation of the former occupant, Femi Gbajabiamila, who after winning, was appointed by President Bola Tinubu as Chief of Staff.
