By Ibrahim Kegbegbe

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) Ogun State, has stated that Ogini Sunday Olaposi is not qualified to speak for the party, having been suspended for anti-party activities.

He is also not supposed to be given undue media attention given other unethical conducts associated with his time as the party ‘s state chairman.

These were the contentions of the NNPP Public Relations Officer, Kilamuwaye Badmus, while speaking to our correspondent.Badmus particularly advised Splash FM (106.7) against giving undue publicity to a man whose expulsion from the party it had earlier broadcast.

Accusing Ogini Sunday Olaposi of impersonating a high-ranking official of the party in the person of Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, he referred to a Tuesday, December 12, 2023, interview on Oginni by the station.Badmus said that on the “Oju Abe” programme hosted by Mr. Ayomide Adetunji, known as Mr. Quality.

Oginni, portrayed himself to be the National Secretary of the NNPP,, addressed listeners on various political matters, and sparking a wave of discontent within the party.

Badmus insisted that Oginni was expelled through legal means due to violations of party regulations, end as a result is not authorised to represent the party in any capacity. Cautioning against giving him media platforms to canvas illegality, Badmus added: “It is Journalistic to exercise caution in providing platforms and opportunities for individuals with established allegations of breach of office, to speak, otherwise that would create wrong impression in the eyes of discerning members of the public: this is our humble advice to Splash.

“If anything, the station should be asking him whether he has cleared his name concerning heavy allegations of abuse of office associated with his tenure” , Badmus said.

He added that Oginni was not qualified in anyway to speak on behalf of the party. Badmus stated that with what was on ground, the radio station may be misled to broadcasting false news, urging for caution. It will be recalled that Oginni had been embroiled in a lot of controversy following the party’s unimpressive outing in the last general elections.

Despite enormous resources spent on that election, the party’s performances were disappointing.

Much of the blame had been heaped on the doorsteps of Oginni, who not only failed in adequately deploying the resources made available, but was also cutting deals with opposition parties.
