NNPP suspends Presidential Candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso
The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has suspended its candidate in the February 25, 2023 presidential election, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for six months.
Kwankwaso’s suspension was announced by the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) in a communique signed by the BoT’s Chairman, Temitope Aluko, and ratified by members at the party’s general assembly meeting on Tuesday in Apapa, Lagos.
The party’s BoT 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.
The Board also strippes Kwankwaso of the title as the NNPP’s national and state leader, respectively.
It equally dissolved the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), and constituted a new one led by Dr. Agbo Major as the acting National Chairman, Comrade Ogini Olaposi as the acting National Secretary, and 18 other national officers.
