NNPP Convention Concludes with Key Appointments and Party Reshuffle
The NNPP’s national convention marks the completion of a significant restructuring process ordered by the Abia High Court in November 2024. The court ruling instructed the NNPP BoT, led by Boniface Aniebonam, to begin repositioning and reconstituting the party’s organs from the ward congress to the national level.
Aniebonam, reflecting on the developments, assured members that the board had successfully restructured the party’s leadership from the grassroots up, including ward executives and zonal officers. With the completion of this convention, the party now has a new national working committee ready to steer its future.

As part of the court’s directive, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been notified of the new leadership, which will be recognized in all official dealings. Boniface Aniebonam emphasized that the NNPP is now fully aligned with the court’s judgment and is poised for a revitalized role in Nigeria’s political landscape.
With Agbo Major at the helm, the NNPP is entering a new era of leadership, promising further transformation and greater influence in Nigerian politics.
