NNPP suspends senator, three House of Reps members

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) on Monday announced an indefinite suspension of the senator representing the Kano South district, Senator Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila, for alleged anti-party activities.

The party also suspended three members of the House of Representatives from Kano for the same alleged offense.

The affected members are Abdullahi Sani Rogo, a member representing Rogo Federal Constituency, Kano; Alhaji Abdullahi Rurum, representing Rano/Kibiya; and Ali Maadakin Gini, representing Dala Federal Constituency in Kano.

NNPP Chairman in Kano, Hashimu Dungurawa, who announced the party’s decision at a press briefing, insisted the disciplinary action became pertinent owing to the gross misconduct of the federal lawmakers.

Dungurawa expressed disappointment that the members who were considered for complimentary slots in the party after they were disgraced out of APC would allegedly betray the party.
