The National Working Committee of the New Nigeria Peoples Party has dissolved its Kano State Executive, as well as all local government and ward leaders, ahead of the defection of the state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, to the All Progressives Congress.

NNPP National Publicity Secretary, Oladipo Johnson, stated in a Friday statement that the NWC plans to establish a caretaker committee soon.

Recall that the NNPP National Leader and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and Yusuf have been embroiled in a political crisis.

The governor is reportedly on the verge of joining the APC, a move strongly opposed by Kwankwaso.

The Kano state chapter of the APC has confirmed that Yusuf is expected to join the party in a few days.

Johnson, however, emphasised that the dissolution was carried out in accordance with the provisions of the party’s constitution.

He stated, “The National Working Committee of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, after an emergency meeting, has, in accordance with the constitution of the party, announced the dissolution of its Executive Committees at the State, Local Government, and Ward levels in Kano State.

“In line with the provisions of the party’s constitution, the NWC resolved to appoint Caretaker Committees to act in the interim. Further instructions will be announced in due course.

“The NWC accordingly thanked all those who held positions at the State, Local Government, and Ward structures of the party in Kano State and assured them of the party’s appreciation for their invaluable contributions.”
