NNPP expels Rep Kofa for anti-party activities

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has expelled Rep. Abdulmumin Kofa (NNPP- Kano) from  the  party for anti-party activities.
The state NNPP Chairman,Alhaji Hashim Dungurawa, stated this while briefing journalists in Kano on Saturday.

Dungurawa said the decision to expel Kofa, who represents Kiru/Bebeji Constituency at the National Assembly, followed his repeated media outbursts against the party and its leadership.

He described Kofa as a “weak politician” whose electoral success was only made possible through the Kwankwasiyya political movement and the NNPP platform,and not personal strength.

“If he was truly strong politically, he would have won his election under the APC, but he failed. It was when he joined NNPP through Kwankwasiyya that he became a House of Reps member. Now he is deceiving himself thinking he is strong,” the chairman said.

He said that a reconciliation committee had initially been set up to engage Kofa after his interview with the Channels Television, but that a subsequent media outing proved he had crossed the line.

“Instead of dialogue, he went further to work against our interest, openly declaring loyalty outside the party. That is why we expelled him. He has no value to add,” he said.

Dungurawa further accused Kofa of defaulting in the payment of mandatory party dues, vowing that the NNPP would institute legal action to recover the funds.

“We will drag him to court to recover what he owes the party. It is a constitutional requirement for every member to pay dues, but he has consistently failed to do so,” he said.

On speculations that Kofa may return to the APC, Dungurawa said such a move would not affect NNPP’s strength, stressing that “politics is about groups and coalitions” and Kwankwasiyya remains solidly behind its leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
