The Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano State, Hashimu Dungurawa, has reaffirmed his status as the legitimate leader of the party in the state. His statement follows a resolution signed by a group of ward executives from Gargari Ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area, which sought to expel him from the party. The resolution was adopted roughly 24 hours before Dungurawa’s response, and he dismissed it as an overreach of authority.
Dungurawa, who also serves on the party’s National Executive Committee, emphasized that the ward executives lack the power to remove him. He expressed surprise at the move and said he does not yet understand the motivations behind it. The chairman warned that anyone presenting themselves as party leaders without legitimate authority would face legal action for impersonation.
The NNPP is an active participant in Nigerian politics, with a presence in several states, including Kano. As a significant player in the country’s political landscape, the party’s internal dynamics and leadership are closely monitored. Dungurawa’s assertion of his leadership and his threat of legal action against challengers highlight the ongoing power struggles within the party.
This development marks a notable shift in the NNPP’s internal affairs, with potential implications for its operations in Kano State. It remains to be seen how the national leadership will respond; the party’s National Executive Committee may need to intervene to resolve the dispute and clarify the leadership structure in Kano. Dungurawa’s stance suggests the possibility of a protracted internal conflict, which could affect the party’s cohesion and electoral prospects. His warning of legal action against purported leaders indicates a hard‑line approach, setting the stage for further developments in the party’s internal power struggle.
