The Young Progressives Party has a well-deserved reputation as a political party committed to fairness and internal democracy.
The charismatic National Leader’s profile has clearly rubbed off on the YPP, which has received praise from pundits across the political spectrum for always attempting to “do the right thing.”

If the rumours are true, the YPP is on the verge of irreparable damage if its leaders abandon the fledgling party’s founding principles and embrace favouritism as candidates prepare for the primaries that will determine candidates for the general elections in 2023.
There is widespread concern as rumours circulate that certain individuals have been named “anointed candidates,” a clear rejection of the YPP’s ideals and internal democratic process. And, while these rumours have yet to be proven, given the National Leader’s presumed unimpeachable integrity, we hope they are false.
While we cross our fingers, we urge the party’s leadership to do the right thing and ensure fairness in the nomination process in order to avoid the party imploding. It will be unfair if the YPP does not ensure that all of its members who wish to seek the party’s nominations for the purpose of contesting elective offices have a level playing field.
Mr Nnamdi Udeaja AKA Banquo, we understand, is currently one of the most popular candidates in the YPP. In the tumultuous Anambra political landscape, he is widely regarded as one of the few candidates capable of challenging the APGA and PDP’s dominance.

Mr. Nnamdi Udeaja is a man of strong character and integrity who has demonstrated that he cares about the people’s interests, and he deserves the opportunity to prove himself to the people of Nnewi North and Anambra.
The YPP must avert this impending disaster and take the necessary steps to avoid playing right into the opposition’s hands.
