NNPP Headquarters: Gov. Zulum takes position on sealing of party’s secretariat
Borno Governor Babagana Zulum has ordered the Borno State Urban Development Board to unseal the headquarters of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
A statement by his spokesman Isa Gusau said after Zulum became aware of the board’s action, he directed that it should be reversed.
According to him, the board has been carrying out a series of reforms, including shutting down some buildings owned by individuals, corporate bodies, and government institutions.
The action followed the contravention of laws relating to non-compliance with Maiduguri’s town planning procedures.
Zulum said though the conversion of a building in a residential area to an office was wrong, the timing of the enforcement was not right either.
“Governor Zulum has directed that the board should suspend its own rule on this particular instance bordering on the NNPP. The Governor believes that reversing the decision is in the overall public interest,” Gusau said.
The governor however noted that political parties should be lawfully operating and citizens free to associate with any platform of their choices without hindrances.
He urged boards and agencies to seek dialogue when issues involve political parties.
