JUST IN: NNPP Changes Logo [PHOTO]—-The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has approved a new logo for the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP.
The party also said it has expelled those claiming to have different factions within its fold.
The party, which won the Kano State governorship election during the 2023 general elections, announced this on Thursday.
NNPP said that its newly approved logo is meant to create an identity for its values in national development.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ladipo Johnson, said in a statement in Abuja that the new logo in red-white-red marks is a departure from the former green and blue colours.
“The educational image of a graduation cap on a book is a symbolic representation of the pursuit of knowledge, which forms the nucleus of associated developments in many other areas of growth and advancement in society,” he said.
He noted that the change in logo was approved at the last April 6, 2024, convention of the party in Abuja and followed due process by communicating the wishes of the party members to INEC, which has now written to the party’s leadership conveying its approval.
The statement quoted INEC’s description of the logo, said to have been approved since June 6, 2024, as having “a graduation cap on a book with the inscription “Education for All” inserted in the white section and red-white-red horizontal stripes.”
With this development, the publicity secretary said, NNPP is poised to engage Nigerians on its mission for national renewal towards a better society.
“We want to create opportunities for all in a modern society where merit counts and no one is left behind. Education is key to this goal,” he said.
NNPP also reiterated that there was no faction in the party, stressing that those claiming otherwise had since been expelled from the party.
The party added that their blind pursuit of an imaginary crisis had also been tested in several courts and their claims rejected.
“So, we want to make this important clarification, especially to the media so that no one is misinformed or misled into perpetuating misguided and illusionary notions,” he stated.
