Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf has been summoned by the disciplinary committee of the Nigeria People’s Party, (NNPP) over allegation of divided loyalty.

The invitation to the Governor was signed by the National Secretary of NNPP, Oginni Sunday.

He is expected to appear before the committee on Monday.

The letter reads “I am directed by The Board of Trustees of NEW NIGERIA PEOPLE’S PARTY (NNPP) to invite you to the National Headquarters of NNPP located at Willand Plaza, Wuse Zone 4, Abuja on Monday 15th of April 2024 by 9.00 am.
