The Kano Chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP on Monday has suspended Senator Abdulrahaman Kawu Sumaila, and three other National Assembly members for alleged anti-party activities.
The three other suspended Federal MP’s lawmakers are Ali Madakin Gini (Dala), Sani Abdullahi Rogo (Rogo/Karaye Federal Constituency) and Kabiru Alhassa Rurum (Rano/Kibiya federal constituency).
Addressing newsmen in Kano on Monday, the NNPP Chairman, Alhaji Hashimu Suleiman Dungurawa, stated that the suspended federal Legislators were elected under the NNPP platform but have recently been acting contrary to the party’s wishes, beliefs, and values.
Dungurawa stated that they were given complementary tickets during the party elections but began to work against the party’s interests after being elected.
A recent event where Senator Kawu commissioned projects at his university in Sumaila without inviting party members was cited as a clear indication of their anti-party activities.
A committee will be set up to investigate the issue and address it once and for all.
Despite the suspension, Dungurawa emphasized that there is still room for dialogue, and if the suspended members repent and seek forgiveness, the party would consider their plea.
