BREAKING: NNPP suspends Kwankwaso, others

The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the New Nigeria Peoples
Party, NNPP, has suspended its candidate in the Feb. 25 presidential election,
Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for alleged anti-party activities.

 

The BoT also suspended the National Working Committee, NWC,
members of the party.

 

It also appointed new national officers headed by Dr Agbo
Major as acting National Chairman and Mr Ogini Olaposi as the Acting National
Secretary.

 

The suspension is for six months.

 

Addressing newsmen at the end of the meeting in Lagos on
Tuesday, Secretary of the BoT, Babayo Muhammed Abdulahi accused Kwankwaso of
hobnobbing with President Bola Tinubu, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and the presidential candidate
of the Labour Party (LP) Mr. Peter Obi, without the board’s authorisation.

 

Abdullahi announced that Kwankwaso had been stripped of the
NNPP national leader status by the board.

 

The secretary of the BoT said the purported suspension of
the NNPP founder was a flagrant gross violation of the party’s constitution.

 

He pointed out that Aniebonam had resigned as the BoT
chairman and a new BoT Chairman, Dr Chief Tope Aluko was elected with Abdulahi
as new BoT Secretary, while High Chief Tony Obioha was elected as BoT
spokesperson.

 

Abdulahi said the pre-election Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) signed with Kwankwasia Movement, The National Movement (TNM) and National
Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders, (NAGAFF) had been
rendered void by the actions of the NWC.

 

Abdulahi said: “The purported suspension of the founder is a
flagrant gross violation of the NNPP constitution such that it is tantamount to
recklessness and irresponsibility on the part of the incompetent NWC.

 

“The BoT decided that material evidence in the public sector
affirmed that Kwankwaso was involved in anti-party activities in various
meetings, suggest political discussions with the President, Atiku and Obi
without authorisation from the board.

 

“This has earned him six months suspension pending the
outcome of investigation by the Disciplinary Committee.

 

“The BOT insisted that the avoidable violation of MoU
between NNPP on the one part and Kwankwasia, TNM and NAGAFF on the other has no
other choice than to withdraw from the partnership.

 

“It is therefore to state clearly that the MOU have been
rendered void,” he said.
