The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) Kano State chapter on Monday announced the suspension Senator Kawu Sumaila (Kano South Senatorial District) and three other members of the National Assembly over alleged anti-party activities.
The suspended lawmakers include: Kabiru Alhassan Rurum (Rano/Kibiya Federal Constituency) Ali Madakin Gini (Dala Federal Constituency) and Sani Abdullahi Rogo (Rogo/Karaye Federal Constituency)
Particularly, NNPP said Sumaila launched his university recently without inviting the party.
Announcing the suspension at the party’s secretariat in Kano on Monday, NNPP Chairman Hashimu Dungurawa stated that the lawmakers were elected on the party’s platform but have recently acted against its interests, norms, and values.
“We are seeing them as non-functional members of our party. They are doing things contrary to our interests and values, which has made it necessary for us to suspend them due to their wrongdoings and demoralizing actions,” Dungurawa said.
He accused Senator Kawu Sumaila of failing to invite NNPP members to a recent project commissioning event, while top APC leaders, including National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje and Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, were in attendance.
