The Ondo State chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party has vowed to occupy all the seats in both states and the National Assembly, currently being occupied by members of the All Progressives Congress.

The state currently has three senators, nine House of Representatives members, and 26 members of the House of Assembly, all are members of the APC, but the opposition party said that all the state and federal legislators had no impact on the people of the state and would be replaced by the NNPP in the 2027 general elections.

The new chairman of the NNPP, Mr Peter Olagookun, stated this during the inauguration of the new executive of the party held at the state party secretariat in Akure, the state capital, on Tuesday.

Olagookun said the party was fully ready to take over from the ruling All Progressives Congress in both the presidential and National Assembly elections coming up in 2027.

He said, ” As everybody knows that NNPP is the main opposition party in Ondo State. PDP is more divided, while ADC is just a gathering of retired politicians who have failed their people in their former party, and those who don’t have any party to go to. Our efforts to win the general election are to build our party stronger and also reach out to those that we know have good plans for their people to join us ahead of the 2027 general elections. We will reach out to people and also present our party as the only alternative party in Ondo State.

“Many of those representing various constituencies at the State and National Assemblies in our Ondo State have failed us; many of them cannot point out meaningful projects that they have done in their constituencies. They deserve to be replaced, and we will replace them.

“This time around, we are going to the 2027 Election to win, we will present formidable candidates for State Assembly and National Assembly, we will present our party as the only alternative party in Ondo State, we will work, campaign, and win, by God’s Grace.

“So our target as a party is to present a formidable candidate both at the State and National Assemblies that can send the underperforming state and National Assemblies members to their homes., Our door is open for everybody to join our great party, the NNPP. Those who want to contest can join us; our party is free for everyone.

Speaking on the insecurity across the country, the NNPP chairman said President Bola Tinubu was overwhelmed by the issue, saying the President should follow the advice of the NNPP presidential candidate in the 2023 poll, Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwaso, on the matter.

” President Tinubu is overwhelmed with the insecurity in the country. He should listen to and follow the advice of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwanwaso on the issue of how the insecurity can be resolved.

“So by God’s Grace, when we take over power in 2027, we are going to resolve the issue of insecurity in our country. Just as our party name implies, New Nigeria People’s Party, we will build a new Nigeria for all, and all our citizens will be happy and live without fear again.”

On his plan for the party, Olagookun, who was elected for the second term, said he and his executive members would work more than our first time to build and strengthen the party.

The new executive of the party includes Olagookun (Chairman), Comrade Oluwayomi Adekunle (Secretary), and Comrade Ibrahim Shuibu (Treasurer). Apata Johnson (Vice Chairman, Ondo North Senatorial District), Ojo Olubodade (Vice Chairman, Ondo South Senatorial District), Dr. Tunde Adejuyigbe (Vice Chairman, Ondo Central Senatorial District ), and 33 other people emerged in the various state executive positions.
