In a startling development shaking the foundations of Nigerian politics, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso finds himself embroiled in a fierce battle over the ownership and control of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
What began as a seemingly innocuous struggle for political power has erupted into a full-blown conflict, with accusations of betrayal and legal skirmishes dominating the landscape.

The National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) has thrown down the gauntlet, declaring unequivocally that Senator Kwankwaso “will never know peace ahead of 2027” and alleging that he is attempting to hijack the NNPP from its rightful owners.
Dr. Clement Iwegbuna, the National Publicity Secretary of NAGAFF, minced no words in condemning Senator Kwankwaso’s actions, accusing him of “ingratitude and arrogance”.

At the heart of the dispute lies the question of legitimacy and ownership. NAGAFF, represented by its president and a cadre of determined young freight forwarders, is adamant in its resolve to reclaim the NNPP from what it perceives as “ingrates” seeking to wrest control of the party.
A staggering sum of #150,000,000 has reportedly been earmarked for legal fees to combat what NAGAFF views as serial litigations instigated by Senator Kwankwaso and his allies.

Senator Kwankwaso’s maneuvers, including a controversial court case against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kano state, have further fueled tensions.
NAGAFF contends that such actions are beyond jurisdiction and represent a blatant disregard for due process. Moreover, they highlight Senator Kwankwaso’s purported lack of humility and gratitude, particularly considering the platform provided to him by NNPP in his bid for the presidency in 2023.

The rift between Senator Kwankwaso and NAGAFF underscores broader fissures within Nigerian politics, where power struggles and personal ambitions often take precedence over principles of fairness and cooperation.
As both sides gear up for protracted legal battles and political maneuvering, the future of NNPP hangs in the balance.

In the midst of this turmoil, Dr. Iwegbuna issues a poignant plea for peace and adherence to the rule of law. While tensions run high and allegiances are tested, he reminds all parties involved of their shared humanity and calls for a return to civility and respect for the constitution.

As the saga unfolds, the Nigerian public watches with bated breath, keenly aware of the stakes involved and the potential ramifications for the country’s political landscape. Will Senator Kwankwaso emerge victorious, or will NAGAFF succeed in reclaiming control of NNPP? Only time will tell as the drama continues to unfold on Nigeria’s political stage.
