The State Secretariat of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), which is situated on Abbaganaram Custom Road in Maiduguri, was sealed on Thursday by personnel from the Nigeria Police, Borno State Command.

Following the sealing, the operators stationed their armored tank at the Secretariat’s entrance and made personnel deployments.

The party’s Borno Central senatorial candidate for the 2023 general election, Alhaji Attom Magira, was taken into custody by the police during a raid on the secretariat.

Alhaji Umar Alkali, the NNPP’s candidate for governor, responded to the development by confirming that the Secretariat had been shut and the Central Senatorial Candidate had been taken into custody and transferred to the Police Headquarters.

“When we got there, we saw a letter saying that our office is in a residential area. We wondered because some few metres away from our office is an APC office, which has not been sealed.

“We cannot be intimidated by the sealing of our office, we cannot be deterred by this, we are determined to wrestle power from the APC come 2023 general election by the grace of God.

“I was a former APC gubernatorial aspirant, they know my capacity, I left APC because APC in Borno is one man show, he assumed himself the position of God, he decides who becomes a messenger,” he said.

He claimed that the All Progressives Congress is intimidated by the growth of NNPP, saying that they were further rattled that Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso was planning to visit the State.

“The APC is intimidated by the presence of the NNPP in the State, because PDP is an appendage of the APC in Borno State and they believe with the coming of our presidential candidate and party leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, APC will definitely be intimidated the more,” he said.
