NNPP rebuts Kwankwaso, denies external influence in party exit

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) rejected claims by its former presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, that his exit was driven by external forces. NNPP founder Boniface Aniebonam stated that Kwankwaso's departure was self-inflicted and linked to his attempt to take control of the party. He also mentioned that the crisis within the NNPP was caused by internal struggles rather than external interference.
