The State Executive Council of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Gombe State has held an emergency meeting following Hon Khamisu Ahmed Mailantarki’s resignation from the party.

Speaking during the meeting in Gombe, the state party chairman, Hon. Barrister Rambi Ibrahim Ayala, expressed dismay over the new development. He maintained that the state party stakeholders did everything possible to retain the party leader, but he personally decided to leave.

While reading through Mailantarki’s letter of resignation, Barrister Rambi appreciated the former NNPP leader for his immense contributions during his stay in the party.

The state party chair, however, said, “Our doors are always wide open for our former leader whenever he decides to rejoin the NNPP. We are very much ready to welcome him back to our fold.”

While encouraging members and officials on the party ideals, Barrister Rambi maintained, “We remain confident and determined to continue our struggle to emancipate and bring about positive change to our people.”

He appealed to all NNPP members in the state not to demoralize, insult, or speak badly of the former leader. He said, “Though he is no longer with us, we still respect him. As responsible comrades, let’s not spread negativity about him, please. In his letter, he didn’t accuse us of any wrongdoing. Rather, he commended and appreciated the opportunity and support we accorded him during his stay in the NNPP.”

Barrister Rambi charged the party executive at all levels to brace up and woo more members for the party. He noted that their commitment would make NNPP the most active party in Gombe State, ready to seize power come 2027.

Other members who spoke during the emergency meeting, including the party’s Financial Secretary Ibrahim Umar Babangida, Zonal Vice Chairman Gombe North Hon Sa’idu Baba Gombe, and Welfare Secretary Kabiru Muhammad Puma among others, all renewed their commitment to NNPP. They assured everyone that the new development would not discourage them but inspire them more for success.

They emphasized unity, commitment, and perseverance to keep Gombe NNPP flying on the trajectories of its national leader, Engineer Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

While appealing to the state party chairman to carry everyone along, the stakeholders commended his moral and financial commitment to NNPP in Gombe State.

They also advised on early scouting and identification of responsible candidates at various levels to make NNPP more vibrant and inclusive before 2027.

Mailantarki was the NNPP gubernatorial flag bearer in the 2023 General Elections in Gombe State.
