Court of Appeal Sacking: Drama as NNPP dumps Gov Yusuf ahead of Supreme Court hearing

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf's hope of securing victory at the Supreme Court appeared to be struck as the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) appeared to have dumped the governor concerning his membership in the party ahead of the hearing at the Supreme Court.

Referring to letters addressed to the Inspector General of Police and Director General of the Directorate of the State Security Services, the NNPP, at a press conference addressed by its National Chairman, Dr Agbo Major, expressed concern over the escalating issues in Kano State, Vanguard reported.

They lamented that the unrest, characterised by press interviews, protests, incitements, attacks on the judiciary, malicious remarks, institutional disruptions, visits to embassies, and road blockades, has reached an alarming level.

He said that upon thorough investigation, the party discovered that the riots were coordinated by Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and led by non-Kano indigenes, namely Dipo Johnson, Kawu Alli, and Onu, all of whom are expelled members of our party.

The BOT Chairman said following a three-day retreat after submitting letters to relevant security agencies and embassies.

NNPP reiterates commitment to rule of law

He said NNPP strongly supports the rule of law and the judiciary, disapproving of any attacks against the judicial system.

According to him, the tribunal and appeal court rulings that Governor Abba Yusuf is not a registered member of the NNPP arose from non-compliance with our party’s constitution.

His statement reads in part:

“The misfortune of the NNPP is attributed to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s high-handedness, preventing party members from registering according to the law."
