Reacting in an interview with newsmen, Azemhe Azena, the party’s governorship candidate, described the purported suspension as fake, inconsequential and of no effect.

Azemhe alleged that those who carried out the purported suspension are non-members of the party in the ward

According to him, the authentic Ward 10 Chairman of NNPP in the Etsako East Local government area is Goddy lyamah.

”He has since refuted the claim to be false and that persons whose names appeared in the suspension letter are not members of the party”, said Azemhe.
