Some factional members of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, have disowned Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as the party leader.

Leading the anti-Kwankwasiya campaign at the party secretariat in Minna, Niger State, the factional National Chairman of the party, Dr. Gilbert Agbo, said Kwankwaso and his Kwankwasiya group were threats to the progress and existence of the party.

Agbo stressed that Kwankwaso’s suspension by the National Working Committee in Lagos automatically terminated his membership and stake in the party.

The factional National Chairman, who also supervised the burning of the Kwankwasiya group’s iconic red caps at the state secretariat of the party in the state, said the move signified a clear statement to dissociate themselves from Kwankwaso’s faction.

He said that 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.

Reacting to the development, Mallam Danladi Umar Abdulhamid, leader of the Kwankwasiya Movement in Niger State, said Dr. Agbo’s national chairman was illegal, saying that the move was meant to serve his interests rather than the interest of people.

Abdulhamid said Kwankwaso remained the national leader of the party under Dr. Ahmed Ajuji’s leadership.
