Ahmed urged party members to ignore those who defected, saying their decision would only bring them hardship.
He added that leaving a peaceful party for troubled ones was a poor choice.

According to Ahmed, the NNPP has no internal divisions and is not controlled by any individual.
He emphasised that the party is not divided into factions or weakened by external influences, but remains united and committed to its goals and guiding principles.
Ahmed said, “I call upon you to please forget entirely the antics of renegades who call themselves defectors.
“May their road continue to be rough.
“If a man or some men decided to jump from calm waters only to land in not just a frying pan but directly into a burning fire, we wish them a safe journey.
“We are not fragmented into three parts with two party chairmen. We have not been captured and broken, and made ineffective by a single omnipotent external force; we are NNPP. We are united.”
