NNPP Says Suspension, Expulsion Of Gov. Yusuf, Kwankwaso, Laughable, Done By Renegades

By Suleiman Anyalewechi

The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has described as laughable and untenable  the purported expulsion of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and suspension of  Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf from the Party.

The National Executive Committee, NEC, of the party had, on Sunday July 7, reaffirmed the earlier suspension  slammed on the Kano State Governor ,as well as the expulsion of Kwankwaso and some members of his Political movement- Kwankwassiya

In a statement jointly issued by Umar Jibril and Omolara Johnson, the NNPP NEC said the six months suspension order  slammed on Governor Yusuf remains in force. It, also, reaffirmed the expulsion of its Presidential Candidate in the 2023 General elections, Rabiu  Kwankwaso.

But while briefing the Media, the Kano Chairman of the Party, Hashimu Suleiman Dungurawa, said the purported expulsion and suspension will not stand as it was carried out  by a renegade group already expelled from the party .

He noted that those behind the development are outside forces ,belonging to a long discredited faction, insisting that Kwankwaso remains not just a member of the NNPP, but also its national leader.

Further speaking, Dungurawa, expressed surprise how Governor Yusuf who is the only  NNPP Governor in the country will be suspended, and Kwankwaso the pillar of the party expelled by a sponsored group.

He, therefore, declared the action of the group as null and void, and of no consequence to the party whatsoever.

He maintained that the teaming members and followers of the NNPP across the country will neither be distracted nor worried by the antics of the sponsored group,who are only out to distabilize the party.

The Kano NNPP Chairman noted that no amount of blackmail,and  political subterfuge will distract members from   strengthening and repositioning the party .  in order to provide  good governance for Nigerians.

The Source reports that ,the Kano NNPP chairman had on Sunday July 7 ,informed that its presidential candidate in 2023 elections Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso , will be fielded back in 2027 .

He insisted that the two time Governor of Kano state ,remains the only  viable option open for the party to mount a serious challenge for the Presidential seat of the country.
