The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano state says it has suspended four of its national assembly members over alleged anti-party activities.
Announcing the decision on Monday, Hashimu Dungurawa, NNPP
chair in Kano, said their suspension followed “recent actions” that
contradicted the party’s principles and objectives.
The affected lawmakers are Kawu Sumaila, senator
representing Kano south; Abdullahi Sani Rogo, lawmaker representing Rogo
federal constituency; Abdullahi Rurum, representing Rano/Kibiya; and Ali
Maadakin Gini, representing Dala federal constituency.
“These members were elected under the NNPP platform but have
recently been acting contrary to the party’s wishes, beliefs and values,’’ NAN
quoted Dungurawa as saying.
The party chairman claimed the suspended members received
automatic tickets during elections, but later acted against the party’s
interests after securing their positions.
He also referenced a recent incident in which Sumaila
reportedly launched projects at his university without involving party members,
highlighting it as evidence of “anti-party activities”.
Dungurawa said the party is open to dialogue, adding that
the affected lawmakers could be reinstated after “thorough” investigation into
the allegations.
