NNPP Suspends Senator, 3 House Of Reps Members

By Suleiman Anyalewechi 

The Kano State Chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples party, NNPP, on Monday, February 24, 2025, wielded the big stick against four  Members of the National Assembly from the State.

Senator Abdulraham Suleiman Kawu Sumaila, representing Kano South District ,Hon. Abdullahi Sani Rogo representing Rogo Federal Constituency, Hon Abdullahi Rurum representing Rano/Kibya Federal  Constituency and Hon Ali Maadakin ,Dala Federal Constituency, were suspended indefinitely by the party leadership, citing gross anti-party activities as a major reason.

The Source reports that the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, had, last weekend, given a strong inkling about the possible defection to the party of some Federal Lawmakers from the State.

The State Chairman of the NNPP, Hashimu Dungurawa, who revealed the development to journalists on Monday informed that the party has been compelled to take  disciplinary actions against the suspended Federal legislators in order  to preserve party loyalty and discipline.

According to Dungurawa, the party is highly disappointed with the conducts of the affected National Assembly members who he said were given complimentary tickets during the 2023 general elections.

However, despite enjoying such rare privilege ,the suspended members he noted, have continued to go against the party’s interests.

The  suspended members, the party chairman added, have never shown appreciation for the honour and privilege accorded them by the party .

Dungurawa, further accused them of being apathetic to issues concerning the NNPP, but will, at the slightest opportunity, jump at invitations extended by opposition parties.

Specifically, the NNPP alleged that information at the party’s disposal have indicated  that the   suspended members in recent times have been attending meetings and functions put together by the APC and the Deputy Senate President, Senator Jibril Barau.

Conversely ,they have tactically avoided any gathering involving their political platform and its leaders, Dungurawa alleged.

The NNPP Chairman expressed serious concern over the attitude of the four  National Assembly Members despite the special treatment from the party both before and after the 2023 polls .
