The National Publicity Secretary, Abayomi Arabambi, stated that as much as the party would not want to dabble in the faceoff between Obaseki and the APC, which it deemed as birds of a feather, it considers the larger implications of the anti-democratic step.
“The report of this blanket ban is not only satanic but it is likely to truncate this hard-earned democracy.”
Meanwhile, the Presidential Campaign Spokesman of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, Ladipo Johnson, also expressed reservation over the directive, saying the masses have the right to make an informed judgment on the party and candidate they want.
