As the crisis in the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) rages on, key stakeholders believe Rabiu Kwankwaso, its presidential candidate, is in the best position to restore order.
Some of them, who spoke with journalists on Sunday, said Mr Kwankwaso, the party’s leader, could easily end the raging bad blood by calling a family meeting.
The party recently got enmeshed in a crisis, with one faction suspending Mr Kwankwaso and many other top notchers over alleged anti-party activities.
The group specifically accused him of associating with opponents of the NNPP. Another group, while reacting to the reported suspension of Mr Kwankwaso, expelled Boniface Aniebonam, founder of the party and former chairman of the Board of Trustees.
With the party swimming in such confusion, stakeholders have suggested a meeting to iron out the issues and chart a way forward.
Mordecai Ibrahim, a state house of assembly candidate in Kaduna State, admonished all factions to sheath their swords.
