New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano State has suspended Senator AbdulRahaman Kawu Sumaila, and 3 other National Assembly members for alleged anti-party activities.
The three other suspended Federal lawmakers are Ali Madakin Gini (Dala), Sani Abdullahi Rogo( Rogo/Karaye Federal Constituency) and Kabiru Alhassa Rurum (Rano/Kibiya federal constituency).
Briefing newsmen in Kano on Monday, the NNPP Chairman, Alhaji Hashimu Suleiman Dungurawa, stated that the suspended federal legislators were elected under the NNPP platform but have recently been acting contrary to the party’s wishes, beliefs, and values.
Dungurawa stated that they were given complimentary tickets during the party elections but began to work against the party’s interests after being elected.
A recent event where Senator Kawu commissioned projects at his university in Sumaila without inviting party members was cited as a clear indication of their anti-party activities.
A committee will be set up to investigate the issue and address it once and for all.
However, Dungurawa disclosed that the party has left a window for dialogue open, adding that NNPP would reconsider its stance if the suspended members repent and seek forgiveness.
