BREAKING: NNPP suspends Senator, three others for associating with APC Leaders

The Kano State chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has suspended Senator Kawu Sumaila, who represents Kano South Senatorial District, along with three other prominent members, Ali Madakin Gini, Sani Abdullahi Rogo, and Kabiru Alhassan Rurum over alleged anti-party activities.

Announcing the decision at a press briefing in Kano on Monday, the state chairman of NNPP, Hashimu Suleiman Dungurawa, stated that the affected members had acted against the party’s interests.

This suspension comes just a day after the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, hinted at an impending mass defection of top NNPP members to the APC.

Dungurawa accused the suspended members of failing to remain loyal to the party, despite being given free tickets during the elections.

One of the key incidents that led to their suspension was the wedding ceremony of Senator Kawu Sumaila’s daughter and the commissioning of projects at his university in Sumaila.

According to Dungurawa, Sumaila invited several APC leaders, including Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau and Ganduje, while NNPP members were conspicuously absent.

To address the issue, the party has set up a committee to investigate the matter and ensure a resolution.
