Breaking: NNPC Expels Kwankwaso Over Alleged Anti Party Activities

 

Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso has been dismissed from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) for allegedly refusing to appear before the party's Disciplinary Committee.

The expulsion of Kwankwaso is effective immediately, according to the NNPP's National Executive Committee.

The NNPP's acting national publicity secretary, Abdulsalam Abdulrasaq, made this announcement in a statement on Tuesday in Lagos.

Due to his egregious anti-party actions and improper handling of campaign finances, Kwankwaso had been suspended by the NNPP during its National Convention on August 29 in Lagos.

Kwankwaso was removed from the party if he did not show up to defend himself before the disciplinary committee that the National Executive Council of the party established after his suspension.

Abdulrasaq, in a statement, said: “The NEC met in an emergency session on Friday, September 1, and resolved as follows:

“Following the refusal of Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to appear before the disciplinary committee, which sat on Thursday, August 31, after being duly invited in writing, he is hereby expelled from NNPP with immediate effect.

“That the erstwhile presidential candidate, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, will be reported to appropriate quarters to answer questions on financial impropriety relating to mismanagement of public funds.”

It could be recurred that the NNPP's problem reportedly started on August 24 when Kwankwaso-aligned party leaders announced the suspension of the organization's founder, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, and the National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Agbo Major.
