In a significant development, the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has experienced a major shake‑up in its Kano State chapter. Executive members of the NNPP in Gargari Ward, Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area, voted to remove and expel the state party chairman, Hashimu Dungurawa, from the party. The decision came barely two weeks after Dungurawa’s re‑election, underscoring deep‑seated divisions within the organization.
A resolution signed by 27 ward executives outlined the reasons for Dungurawa’s removal. The executives accused him of causing division, fueling internal crises, and failing to pay party dues. They also alleged that he made abusive comments against Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, actions they deemed unacceptable and detrimental to the party’s image, unity, and progress.
The expulsion was decided at the ward’s second executive meeting, chaired by Ward Chairman Shuaibu Hassan, with Secretary Yahaya Saidu Dungurawa in attendance. The executives emphasized that the move complied with the party’s constitution and was intended to maintain discipline, unity, and internal harmony within the NNPP.
Copies of the resolution have been sent to the party’s local government, state, and national offices for further action. The decision was also communicated to the party’s national leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. The ward executives reaffirmed their loyalty to the NNPP national leadership and pledged continued support for the governor, stressing their commitment to peace, unity, and the party’s growth.
The removal of Dungurawa serves as a warning to party members who abuse their positions and disregard party rules. As the NNPP navigates its internal challenges, the national leadership will likely face increased scrutiny in addressing these issues and maintaining unity among its ranks. Given the NNPP’s growing influence in Nigerian politics, this development will be closely watched by political observers and stakeholders across the country.
