Some factional members of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) have disowned Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as the party leader.
Daily Trust reported that the factional national chairman of the party, Dr. Gilbert Agbo, who led the anti-Kwankwasiya campaign at the party secretariat in Minna, Niger state capital, said Kwankwaso and his Kwankwasiya group were threats to the progress and existence of the party.
He made this known during the North Central Zonal meeting in Minna.
According to Dr. Agbo, Kwankwaso’s suspension by the National Working Committee in Lagos automatically terminated his membership and stake in the party.
The NNPP chieftain who also supervised the burning of the Kwankwasiya group’s iconic red caps at the state secretariat of the party in the state, added that the move signified a clear statement to dissociating themselves from Kwankwaso’s faction.
Dr. Agbo said Governor Kabir Yusuf of Kano state was expected to appear before the party’s disciplinary committee for failing to comply with the party’s principles and supremacy.
