“I urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to note that there were proceeds of corruption in those conventions which is a violation of Part Six of the EFCC laws.
“I call on INEC not only to disqualify and cancel both national conventions but to also report the matter to security operatives for necessary actions.
“I also urged security operatives to arrest the organisers of the elections, the aspirants and the delegates,” he said.
Liti said that NNPP was just four months into its reorganisation but able to attain the status of a major opposition party in Katsina State.
According to him, the party is committed to ensuring that the people of Katsina State are well governed after the 2023 general elections. (NAN)
