NNPP gets acting chair

The National Working Committee of the New Nigeria Peoples Party on Thursday approved the appointment of Abba Kawu-Ali as the acting National Chairman of the party.

Kawu-Ali’s appointment followed the resignation of Professor Rufai Alkali as the party’s chairman earlier in the week.

Alkali had in a letter to the National Secretary of the party premised his decision to step aside on the need to have on board fresh hands to reposition the party in preparation for greater responsibilities.

Until his new appointment, Kawu-Ali was the National Vice Chairman, North-East of the NNPP.
