The National Executive Committee of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has expelled its candidate in February 25 general elections, Rabiu Kwankwaso, following his alleged refusal to appear before the party’s Disciplinary Committee.
The NEC had warned that, failure to appear before the Disciplinary Committee, Kwankwaso would be expelled from the party in line with the provisions of the party’s constitution 2022 (as amended).
Consequently, acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Abdulsalam Abdulrasaq, in a statement today said the NEC had expelled Kwankwaso with immediate effect because of his refusal to honour the committee’s invitations.
Recalls that Kwankwaso had been earlier suspended by the party’s leadership at the National Convention on August 29 in Lagos.
