NNPP NWC Denies Suspending Kwankwaso

The news about Kano State former Governor of Kano State, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, being suspended from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) is not true, the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) said on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the NNPP announced that it had suspended the party’s National Leader and 2023 presidential candidate, Senator Rabin Musa Kwankwaso, for six months for alleged anti-party activities.

Kwankwaso’s suspension was announced yesterday at the end of a parallel National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in Lagos State.

Secretary of the BoT, Babayo Muhammed Abdullahi, while addressing journalists at the end of the meeting, said the BoT also suspended the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.

The development has since generated a barrage of reactions across boards.

However, in a statement issued on Wednesday, August 30, 2023, the party’s NWC refuted the purported suspension of Rabiu Kwankwaso.

The party’s National Auditor, Ladipo Johnson, who spoke at a news conference today at the NNPP national headquarters in Abuja, declared that the suspension was null and void.

Johnson was the former spokesperson for the Kwankwaso Presidential Campaign Council.

Johnson said during the press that Aniebonam and Agbo were suspended for three months on August 24 for engaging in unwholesome acts before they were later expelled from the party.

He added that the party’s NEC, at its meeting on Tuesday in Abuja monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), took certain decisions, including the election of new national officials, the change of the party’s logo, and the expulsion of Aniebonam and Agbo.

“Is it not funny that all those people either suspended or expelled would gather somewhere and claim to have suspended Kwankwaso and also dissolve the NWC?

“The jokers also appointed a CTC made up of those people who have ceased to be members of the party by virtue of our constitution,” he added.

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has advised partisan police officers who abandon their core professional responsibilities to pursue vested political interests to know that the enmity they fuel and eventually create will hurt them in the long run. Governor Fubara maintained that police officers are engaged and trained as professionals to protect lives and property while contributing to the desired peace in the State as a patriotic duty. The Governor insisted that it is, therefore, an aberration for any of them to think that protecting any particular individual or being one-sided in the political affairs to the detriment of the State amounts to professionalism. Governor Fubara gave the advise at the inauguration and formal handover of 100 operational vehicles acquired by his administration to the Rivers State Police Command at the Sharks Football Stadium in Port Harcourt on Tuesday. The Governor said: "I need to say this, so that you will understand. When you (Disu) ca...
