According to Danmasani, Kwankwaso’s role as the 2023 presidential candidate of the NNPP ended with the election, and his subsequent expulsion from the party for anti-party activities has rendered any claims of leadership null and void.
The NNPP chieftain lamented the continued reference to Kwankwaso as the party leader by the media, stating that it has led to unauthorized negotiations with other political parties.

Danmasani emphasized that only the party’s authorized officials, including Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, the founder and life member of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Gilbert Agbo Major, the National Chairman, and Comrade Oginni Olaposi Sunday, the Secretary General, can negotiate on behalf of the NNPP. Any negotiations conducted by Kwankwaso or his group will be considered null and void.
