Gov. Zulum orders immediate unsealing of NNPP party’s office in Maiduguri

The Borno Urban Development Board unsealed the Maiduguri office of the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) on Friday on the orders of Gov. Babagana Zulum.

The board invited the police to the office on Thursday to ensure the proper sealing of the party secretariat which it said contravened the law as it is sited in a residential area.

 

 

 

 

 

Gov. Zulum, however, overruled the board and argued that its action was “wrongly timed’’ as the NNPP presidential candidate, Dr Musa Kwankoso is scheduled to visit Borno and the party office on Saturday.

Confirming the reopening of the office, NNPP’s chairman in Borno, Malam Mohammed Mustafa, said Prof. Zulum’s intervention had brought smiles to the faces of members.

 

 

 

 

 

“We are now in our office making the necessary preparations to host our presidential candidate, Dr Musa Kwankoso on Saturday,’’ he told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

“Kwankwaso will be coming to commission the state office and hold talks with party stakeholders,’’ Mustafa said.

 

 

 

Special Adviser to Gov. Zulum on Communications and Strategy, Malam Isa Gusau, also confirmed in Maiduguri on Friday that the governor directed the immediate unsealing of the NNPP’s office.

“The people of Borno are aware that in the last three years, the board has been carrying out series of reforms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“This has included the sealing of buildings belonging to individuals, corporate bodies and even some government institutions for non-compliance with Maiduguri’s town planning procedures.

“The board claimed to have acted in the same regard by sealing the NNPP’s headquarters for wrongful conversion of a residential building to a party office.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Gov. Zulum, however, regarded the board’s action in the case of the NNPP’s office as that of wrong timing.

“Zulum believes that no matter the justification, the board’s decision is bound to be given political misinterpretation which could heat up the polity and cause needless distractions.

 

 

 

“The governor believes that reversing the board’s decision as it affects the NNPP is in the overall public interest of peace,’’ Isa stated.

Renewed Hope Ambassadors Shift to Grassroots Mobilisation Ahead of 2027

*Renewed Hope Ambassadors Step Into the Next Phase

 

Fresh from the successful APC 2026 National Convention, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors National, Zonal, and State leadership gathered in Abuja over the weekend, for its fourth strategic meeting, setting the tone for nationwide grassroots activation ahead of 2027.

Chaired by Governor Hope Uzodinma (Imo State) the Director General and National Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, alongside Deputy Director-General, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, and Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State as Secretary, the session reinforced one clear direction: One Party. One Message. One Mobilization whilst also laying out a strategic roadmap for the activation of the network across all communities in Nigeria.

Backed by the strength of 31 APC-led states, the Renewed Hope Agenda is taking Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s message of progress and reform to every corner of Nigeria.

From bold economic restructuring to initiatives like NELFUND, the increase in the national minimum wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000, and strategic investments in critical sectors, including PNiCGI, the mission remains clear: helping Nigerians understand both the purpose and the progress of the Renewed Hope vision.

This is coordination at scale. This is grassroots engagement with purpose. This is the next phase of Renewed Hope with One Party, One Message, and One Mobilisation framework

The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has finalized plans to receive Vice President Kashim Shettima for the formal defection and reception of Governor Dauda Lawal into the ruling party, scheduled to take place on Tuesday.

 

State APC Chairman, Tukur Danfulani Maikatako, disclosed this during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held in Gusau, the state capital. He noted that the Vice President would be joined by the party’s national leadership to mark what he described as a landmark political realignment in the state.

 

Maikatako expressed the party’s excitement over Governor Lawal’s return, recalling that Zamfara had historically been an APC stronghold and that the Governor was previously a bona fide member of the party before his earlier exit.

 

“We all know that Zamfara has long been one of the APC’s stronghold states, where the defected Governor was once a bona fide member. Now that he has decided to return home, having been satisfied that the APC remains his second choice after the one he left for obvious reasons,” Maikatako stated.

 

The Chairman called on all party faithful across the 147 wards in the state’s 14 local government areas to turn out en masse to honour the Vice President’s visit. He emphasized that the event was strategically positioned to bolster the party’s popularity and strengthen its structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.

 

In a strong appeal for unity, Maikatako urged members to set aside all factional tendencies, stressing that the APC remained one political family with shared goals, particularly the ambition to make Zamfara and Nigeria great again.

 

Echoing similar sentiments, a former state APC Chairman, Lawal M. Liman, appealed to members to cascade the message to their wards and local government areas. He reinforced the need for cohesion, noting that the party’s collective strength would be critical to achieving success in future elections.
