A high court in Kano state on Tuesday has set aside the suspension of Rabiu Kwankwaso, presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
Ruling on an ex parte motion in a suit marked K/M1157/2023 on Tuesday, Usman Na‘abba, the presiding judge, also restrained members of the faction that suspended Kwankwaso from acting as national officers of the party.
DAILY GIST recalls that the NNPP’s board of trustees (BoT), led by Boniface Aniebonam, founder of the party, suspended Kwankwaso over allegations of anti-party activities.
But a faction of the party loyal to the former governor of Kano reversed the suspension.
On Tuesday, the party announced the suspension of Kwankwaso following his alleged refusal to appear before the party’s Disciplinary Committee.
