Leaders of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the Southeast have reaffirmed their confidence in the national leadership of the party.
The stance is contained in a statement, signed by the Caretaker Committee Chairman, Enugu State, Mr. Chidi Akim, at the end of an emergency meeting in Enugu yesterday.
He said after examining the recent happenings in the party, the party leadership in the Southeast considered it very expedient to reach the following resolutions:
“That we have confidence in the national executive of the party, led by Abba Kawu-Ali.
