- Kano NNPP chairman blasts ‘expelled members’ for causing crisis in party
The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has vehemently rejected the alleged expulsion of its former presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and the suspension of Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf.
The party’s leadership has disowned the decision, stating that it was not authorized or ratified by the legitimate National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party.
This move has been widely condemned by party members and supporters, who see it as a desperate attempt to disrupt the party’s unity and progress.
In reaction however, the Kano State chairman of the party, Hashimu Dungurawa, said those who took the unpopular decision were not bonafide members of the party.
Dungurawa said the party viewed the act as laughable as it was carried out by expelled members sponsored by outside forces.
Noting that the sponsors of the crises in NNPP have been identified, the party chairman added “They are those opposition who are afraid of the emergence of Kwankwaso as the next president of Nigeria, in 2027, God willing.”
He continued, “Let me be clear to you that those people who said they suspended Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, and suspended Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, were long ago expelled from the party over alleged anti-party activities and connivance with opposition to create problems in our party.
“I wondered how a sponsored group of expelled members could suspend Abba Kabir Yusuf, who is the only Governor of the NNPP in the country, and expel Kwankwaso, the party’s national leader.”
Dungurawa said the NNPP remains resolute, strong and would never be distracted by the evil machinations of outsiders hell-bent on destroying it.
