NNPP Crisis Deepens: Faction Led by Dr. Gilbert Agbo Disowns Kwankwaso, Suspends Kano Governor Kabir Yusuf.

A faction of the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) has publicly severed ties with Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, rejecting him as the party's leader. Led by Dr. Gilbert Agbo, the factional National Chairman, this move marks a significant split within the party. At the party secretariat in Minna, Niger State, Dr. Agbo spearheaded an anti-Kwankwasiya campaign, emphasizing that Kwankwaso and his group jeopardize the party's advancement and very existence.

During the North Central Zonal meeting in Minna, Dr. Agbo underscored that Kwankwaso's suspension by the National Working Committee in Lagos effectively terminated his membership and influence within the party. This drastic measure was further solidified by the symbolic burning of the Kwankwasiya group's distinctive red caps at the state secretariat, signaling a definitive break from Kwankwaso's faction.

Developments in the NNPP Split:

• Public Disavowal: NNPP faction publicly rejects Kwankwaso as party leader
• Anti-Kwankwasiya Campaign: Dr. Agbo leads effort to distance party from Kwankwaso's group
• Suspension and Membership Termination: National Working Committee's decision in Lagos cited as justification
• Symbolic Break: Burning of Kwankwasiya group's red caps at state secretariat

Dr. Gilbert Agbo announced plans to summon Kano State Governor Kabir Yusuf before the party's disciplinary committee for allegedly violating party principles.

Mallam Danladi Umar Abdulhamid, Kwankwasiya Movement leader in Niger State, swiftly condemned Dr. Agbo's actions. Abdulhamid disputed Agbo's legitimacy, claiming personal interests drove his decisions, not the party's well-being. He reaffirmed Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as national leader, underscoring Dr. Ahmed Ajuji's guidance.
