The Board of Trustees of the New Nigeria Peoples’s Party, NNPP has directed all financial institutions including banks across the Country to stop, with immediate effect, transaction on all accounts belonging to the party.
For any transactions to be carried out with the party’s account the Original Certificate of Registration by INEC must now be presented to the scheduled officers to forestall activities of fraudsters and unauthorised persons who are illegally using the photocopies of the Certificate of Registration to operate illegal bank accounts, the party said.
The board of the party made this known Sunday in a statement shared with The Source magazine.
The party’s National Secretary, Oginni Olaposi who signed the release said the party recognized the fact that the original Certificate of Registration is the prerequisite for the opening and operations of Bank Accounts and financial transactions.
“Therefore, the Board of Trustees of NEW NIGERIA PEOPLE’S PARTY, today 26th of April ordered immediate stoppage of any banking transaction with the name NEW NIGERIA PEOPLE’S PARTY except the Original Certificate of Registration is produced and sighted by The Banks and other financial institutions,” he said.
“The Board of Trustees as part of it’s efforts to deal with fraudsters who have infiltrated the party called for the cooperation of all Commercial Banks and financial institutions in this regard as EFCC has also been duly informed of the nefarious activities of these fraudsters pretending to be NNPP’s Officers.
“Therefore the managing directors of the various financial institutions should excuse themselves from any embarrassing moment with government agents who may regard them as conspirators in financial crime. However payment into the accounts are allowed and withdrawal is restricted.”
Meanwhile, close watchers of the party insist that the development is the latest in the battle of supremacy between two factions of the party led Rabiu Kwakawanso, a former governor of Kano state and Boniface Aniebonam the founder of the party.
