A faction of the New Nigeria Peopleโ€™s Party (NNPP) has distanced itself from Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwasoโ€™s leadership, staging a symbolic burning of the Kwankwasiya movement’s iconic red cap in Minna, Niger State.

The faction, led by Dr. Gilbert Agbo, the factional National Chairman, accused Kwankwaso and his group of undermining the party’s progress.

During the North-Central Zonal meeting at the partyโ€™s secretariat, Agbo declared that Kwankwasoโ€™s suspension by the National Working Committee (NWC) in Lagos had effectively ended his membership and influence in the party. โ€œHis suspension automatically means he is no longer part of the partyโ€™s leadership,โ€ Agbo asserted.

Agbo also announced that Kano State governor, Kabir Yusuf, was set to face the partyโ€™s disciplinary committee over alleged violations of the party’s principles. The faction emphasized that burning the Kwankwasiya red caps symbolized their break from Kwankwasoโ€™s leadership.

In response, Mallam Danladi Abdulhamid, the Kwankwasiya Movement leader in Niger State, condemned the faction’s actions, calling Agboโ€™s leadership โ€œillegal.โ€

Abdulhamid argued that the factionโ€™s efforts were driven by Agboโ€™s personal interests rather than the partyโ€™s welfare.

He further affirmed that under Dr. Ahmed Ajujiโ€™s chairmanship, Kwankwaso remained the legitimate national leader of the NNPP.
