NNPP Dismisses Alleged Suspension Of Abba Yusuf As ‘Poorly Scripted Movie’

The national chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Ahmed Ajuji said on Thursday, April 18, that the party did not suspend the Kano state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf as being speculated in the media.

A fraction of the party led by the former national publicity secretary, Agbo Major had announced a six-month suspension of the Kano governor, alleging his failure to appear before a disciplinary committee.

Ajuji said: “For record purposes, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf is a bonafide member of our great party and a worthy ambassador of NNPP whose leadership and unprecedented achievements in Kano state are a thing of pride to us, and as such we have no reason to suspend him. In essence, the NNPP did not suspend our Governor.”

“Nigerians were amused early this week when expelled political comedians, hirelings, and clowns craving for relevance announced the suspension of the party’s action Governor Abba Yusuf for attending the NNPP national convention.

“The jokers played back a cracked record and poorly scripted movie of suspension of the Kano State Governor as their sponsors and target audience no longer listen to the endless suspension and expulsion of His Excellency, Engr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the National Leader of the party.

“These political jobbers were also the ones hired to scuttle Governor Abba Yusuf’s election at the Tribunal, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court falsely claiming that he was not duly and properly nominated by the party as its Candidate for the 2023 General election.

“To God be the glory the Supreme Court Justices in their own wisdom saw through their lies, and agreed with us and the INEC that Gov. ABBA Kabur Yusuf is a bonafide member of NNPP.

“These same set of people have at various times instituted several suits in court challenging the leadership of the party and tried to scuttle the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting and the National Convention held on Friday, April 5, 2024, and Sat6yrday, April 6, 2024

“The court being a temple of justice and beacon of hope for sustainable democracy in Nigeria dismissed many of their suits, including the one which judgment was given earlier today.

“A Court even ordered them to stop parading themselves as members of the party, but because they don’t have any regard for the law, they continue in their contemptuous activities.

“The grouse of these expelled members was the participation of NNPP candidates in various elective positions in which the party won a governorship, Senate, House of Representatives, and State House of Assembly seats which boosted the electoral fortune of NNPP, unlike before when such positions were traded off for personal gains.

“The party is aware of their sponsors and their aim of destabilizing it. They have failed as NNPP keeps growing from strength to strength, expanding its frontiers in the nation’s political space.

“The party will not dissipate energy responding to political hirelings if not for the wide media reports accorded them as they seek public attention to remain relevant and carry out the agenda of their sponsors.

“In other climes, these comedians would not receive such attention as they are clearly in contempt of the court that restrained them from parading themselves as members of the party, organizing press conferences, and issuing press statements. Soon the full weight of the law will be brought to bear on them.

“Our great party is focused on ushering in a new and better Nigeria as exemplified in the good governance of Kano State by His Excellency, Governor Abba Yusuf. The party is united and strong in fostering sustainable democracy in Nigeria. And Governor ABBA Kabir Yusuf is championing this.”
