Don’t drag me into NNPP crisis- Kwankwaso
The National Leader and the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Sen. Musa Kwankwaso,says he has nothing to do with the internal crisis rocking the party in Kano State.
Kwankwaso, when approached by journalists at his Miller Road residence in Kano on Tuesday, said he had nothing to say about the crisis.
“I don’t want to talk please. Don’t drag me into what I am not supposed to be dragged into.
“The chairman of the party has spoken and has been speaking, reach out to him,” the leader of the Kwankwasiyya political movement said.
The crisis bedeviling the party deepened on Monday with the suspension of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG),Dr Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, and the state Commissioner of transportation, Malam Muhammad Diggol,for alleged disrespect to the party.
The Chairman of the party, Malam Hashim Dungurawa, who announced the suspension,said the two officials were sanctioned following their alleged disrespect to the party, abuse of power, office and disloyalty to the party.
It was gathered that the suspension came barely few moments after Gov. Abba Kabir Yusuf brokered a reconciliation between the SSG and the aggrieved members of his constituency.
Also, a faction of the party led by Malam Dalhatu Usman, had faulted the suspension, describing it as null and void.
Usman, stated this in a statement on Tuesday in Kano that no individual had the power to suspend Bichi from the party.
