SocialMediaTrends: Nigerians react as Fayose donates property to support Peter Obi’s campaign. See more stories

News of the Borno State government sealing off the headquarters of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Maiduguri, Borno State capital has been making the rounds on social media.

Ripples Nigeria gathered that the party’s headquarters alongside some of its offices were on Thursday sealed by the Borno State Urban Development Management Board.

The development, which at the time of compiling this report, has not been commented on by the state’s police public relations officer (PPRO) despite several calls and messages sent to the office.

This has further compounded the mystery behind the surprising closure of the campaign edifices and has generated reactions from Nigerians.

Zulum ordered police to seal up our Borno NNPP secretariat ahead of Kwankwaso’s visit.

This is undemocratic. pic.twitter.com/mw1ZRWiN6B

This is totally wrong and unacceptable. We're in a democratic era, Kassim Shettima and Zulum must respect the rule of law and unseal Borno State NNPP Secretariat.

Kwankwaso will by God grace be in Maiduguri on the 27th August as planned, we won't be intimidated by anybody. https://t.co/RzZFj1ab5F

Sealing up our great NNPP party Secretariat with MOPOL Police in borno state is exasperating, frustrating, lugubrious, and mournful. This is erroneous, inaccurate, unsupportive and unconstitutional, 12 pic.twitter.com/IYW6sAaxQd

Sealing up our great party NNPP in Borno is ridiculously uncalled for! All Kwankwasiyas worldwide should stage public protests to show Nigeria that Kwankwaso has no equal among the rest and on his boat shall we sail to Aso Rock in 2023 Inshallah!
