Kwankwaso said the move was part of efforts to reposition the party for the task ahead.
He disclosed this in a post accompanied by photos shared on his X page on Friday, July 12.
The former governor of Kano state said the decision was reached following NNPP’s 2023 post-elections performance assessment.
He noted that the new logo speaks to their desire to have a widely educated Nigerian populace and reflects the party’s commitment to peaceful development ahead of the 2027 election.
This is coming a few days after the ruling APC maintained that NNPP in Kano state will record a heavy loss and that Governor Yusuf’s every action will work in their favour in 2027.
But on Friday, Kwankwaso tweeted:
“I had the honor of unveiling the newly approved logo of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), today in Abuja.
“The well-thought and widely consulted decision is part of our efforts to reposition the party for the task ahead. And it was reached following our 2023 post-elections performance assessment.
“I am grateful to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for its timely approval of the logo, and we hope that the Nigerian populace will continue to provide our party with the strength to move the country forward together. – RMK

“Kano APC Chieftain, Kwamanda publicly telling President Tinubu he will lose his 2nd term bidding. Even though Yoruba Ronus said Tinubu can win without Arewa votes, but please get an interpreter. This message is for you.”
