The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has suspended Senator Kawu Sumaila, representing Kano South Senatorial District, over his alleged ties with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje.
Alongside Senator Kawu, the party also suspended Ali Madakin Gini, Sani Abdullahi Rogo, and Kabiru Alhassan Rurum.
Announcing the decision in Kano, the state chairman of the NNPP, Hashimu Dungurawa, accused the affected members of engaging in anti-party activities. He stated that despite being elected on the party’s platform, they had acted against its principles.
Dungurawa criticized Senator Kawu and the others for failing to remain loyal to the party, despite benefiting from its support in the last elections.
He also expressed disappointment over their association with APC members, particularly at events such as Senator Kawu’s daughter’s wedding and the commissioning of his projects in Sumaila Local Government Area.
However, he noted that if the suspended members acknowledge their actions and seek forgiveness, the party might reconsider its decision.
