The leadership of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano state has suspended Senator Kawu Sumaila, who represents Kano South Senatorial District at the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly, from the party citing anti-party activities.

Others who were suspended by the NNPP leadership include:  Alhaji Abdullahi Sani Rogo, a member representing Rogo Federal Constituency; Alhaji Abdullahi Rurum, a member representing Rano/Kibiya;  and Ali Maadakin Gini, a member representing Dala Federal Constituency.

The State Chairman of the party,  Alhaji Hashimu Dungurawa who disclosed this to journalists in Kano on Monday, said, that NNPP in Kano has taken disciplinary action against some of its members, including a Senator and legislators, over anti-party activities.

Dungurawa further stated that the party expressed disappointment with the recent actions of some National Assembly members elected under the party’s platform.

According to him, despite giving complementary tickets to the legislators during the party elections, these members have gone against the party’s wishes, beliefs, and values.

Our Correspondent reports that the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, at the weekend in Kano, hinted that  Federal legislators from Kano who were elected under the platform of NNPP will soon dump the party for APC.
