My Life Is In Danger, NNPP Chairman Cries Out
National Chairman of the New Nigerian People’s Party, ( NNPP), Dr Agbo Major, has raised the alarm over an alleged attempt on his life.
The National Chairman of the NNPP gave the disclosure on Thursday at a news conference.
Dr Agbo told journalists that the alleged assassins stormed the party national secretariat on Monday but were ignorant of the real identity of their target.
He said: “The most critical reason for this briefing today is to bring you to speed with an attempt made to assassinate me here in this office on Monday 16th August 2023. I walked in here at about 2.45 pm and shortly after that two men walked in, ignoring the protocol advice from the desk boys in the front office.
“They walked in with weapons demanding to meet me, unknown to them they were talking to me. It was evident that they never knew me physically, in fact, my saving grace was that I was not sitting on my chair.
“Pointing a short gun on me, they demanded that I produce “Major Agbo” who one of them claimed was his course mate at Command and Staff College, Jaji. I asked him if he would identify his coursemate he was talking about if seen, he replied “yes”. I then told them Major Agbo was not around. They speedily withdrew, ran into their ash-colored Toyota Corolla car parked by the express roadside (to aid escape) and sped away.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we are all aware of the recent developments in the party as a result of attempts to hijack it by some ill-advised elements and political opportunists. Let me also confirm to you that I have received several threats through WhatsApp voice calls telling me I would pay with my life for standing in the way of their quest to take the party from its Founder and its mother organisation – NAGAFF. They made real their threat on Monday but failed woefully as they could not identify me.
“Ladies and gentlemen, history will be kind to you all for coming today to listen to my cries, I strongly believe that you would treat this piece of information with utmost importance for the stability of our democracy”.
He said the relevant security agency has since been informed of the incident.
The NNPP factional national chairman also revealed plans by his leadership to reposition certain state chapters of his party.
