JUST IN: NNPP Dissolves Kano State Executive Ahead of Governor Yusuf’s APC Move
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has dissolved the party’s executive committees in Kano State at the state, local government and ward levels.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Oladipo Johnson, announced this in a statement issued on Friday.
Johnson said the NWC took the decision after an emergency meeting and in line with the provisions of the party’s constitution.
He added that the NWC had resolved to set up caretaker committees to manage the affairs of the party in the state pending further directives.
The development comes amid a political rift involving the NNPP National Leader and former Kano State Governor, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and the incumbent governor, Abba Yusuf.
