There seems to be no end in sight with the crisis rocking the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) as a group within the party on Tuesday suspended the NNPP flag bearer for the February 25, 2023 presidential poll, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Kwankwaso, a former Kano State governor, who came fourth in this year’s presidential election, was suspended by the group led by NNPP chieftains, Boniface Aniebonam and Agbo Major.
The group led by Aniebonam and Major suspended Kwankwaso at a special general assembly held at the Rockview Hotels in the Apapa area of Lagos State.
The NNPP Board of Trustees in the Aniebonam and Major group also suspended the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
However, in a swift reaction, the Kwankwaso group within the party convened a “NEC meeting” in Abuja also on Tuesday and expelled Aniebonam and Major.
