The People’s National Convention (PNC) said that news about many members quitting to start a new party called the People’s National Party (PNP) isn’t true.
They put out a statement on April 17, 2024, signed by National Communications Secretary Awudu Ishaq, telling PNC members to stay strong and not believe the lies from ex-General Secretary Janet Nabila and her group.
The statement said that the idea that eleven regions backed the new party was a lie to trick people.
The PNC also said the creation of the PNP was against the law because it’s connected to the original PNP.
The party promised to use all legal ways to stop the PNP name from being used.
The statement reads:
“The PNC calls on the rank and file of the party most especially our branch, constituency and regional executives to stay resolute and avoid the temptation to be swayed by the disgruntled former General Secretary and her cabal who have always resorted to all manner of lies in their attempt to bring down the PNC for their selfish and self-seeking agenda.
“The party hereby states that the alleged support of this decision by eleven out of sixteen regions is a blatant lie intended to mislead the general public into believing that the supposed new political party is worth its sort. Furthermore, the decision to adopt the People’s National Party amounts to an illegality since the PNC is an offshoot of the PNP.
“To this end, we shall use every legitimate and legal avenue available to us to stop the use of the name PNP,” part of the statement read.
“… As much as the party needs every single member to grow its numbers, we are unfazed by the decision by any person or group of persons to voluntarily leave the party especially when their conduct has proven to be inimical to the fortunes of the party.”
