The national working committee (NWC) of the New Nigeria
People’s Party (NNPP) has rejected the suspension of Hashimu Dungurawa, the
Kano state chairman.
On Monday, executive members of the party’s Gargari ward in
Dawakin Tofa LGA suspended and removed Dungurawa for allegedly causing division
within the party and instigating internal conflict.
Dungurawa is an ally of Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former governor
of Kano and national leader of the NNPP.
On Tuesday, the party’s executive committee in Kano
appointed Abdullahi Abiya as acting NNPP chairman in the state.
In a statement, Ladipo Johnson, NNPP spokesperson, condemned
Dungurawa’s suspension, describing the action as “misplaced, undemocratic,
null, void and of no effect whatsoever”.
“Their action indeed amounts to a gross anti-party activity
as it violates the extant provisions of the Party’s constitution,” the
statement reads.
Johnson said Dungurawa is a “conscientious, hardworking, and
dutiful chairman whose leadership and performance over time have been
remarkable and contributed to the progress” of the party in Kano.
