House of Representatives member representing Kiru/Bebeji constituency, Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa has been expelled from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) by the Kano State chapter of the party.
The Chairman of NNPP in Kano, Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, who made the disclosure while briefing journalists in Kano on Saturday accused Jibrin of anti-party activities and failure to meet his financial obligations to the party.
Recall that Jibrin had recently declared openly his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and also predicted his exit from the party.
Addressing journalists, Dungurawa described Jibrin as a weak politician whose electoral success was only made possible through the Kwankwasiyya movement and NNPP platform, not personal strength.
“If he was truly strong politically, he would have won his election under the APC, but he failed. It was when he joined NNPP through Kwankwasiyya that he became a House of Reps member. Now he is deceiving himself thinking he is strong,” Dungurawa said.
He explained that a reconciliation committee had initially been set up to engage Jibrin after his interview with Channels Television, but said a subsequent media outing proved he had crossed the line.
“Instead of dialogue, he went further to work against our interest, openly declaring loyalty outside the party. That is why we expelled him. He has no value to add,” he said.
Dungurawa further accused Jibrin of defaulting in the payment of mandatory party dues, vowing that NNPP would institute legal action to recover the funds.
“We will drag him to court to recover what he owes the party. It is a constitutional requirement for every member to pay dues, but he has consistently failed to do so,” he added.
