The Kano State chapter of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has expelled Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa, the lawmaker representing Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency, accusing him of working against the party’s interest and failing to fulfill his financial commitments.
The announcement was made on Saturday in Kano by the state chairman of the party, Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, during a press briefing. He explained that the decision followed Jibrin’s frequent public criticism of the NNPP and its leadership.
“This is coming barely 24 hours after the member said it shouldn’t come as a surprise if he dumps the party,” Dungurawa stated.
Earlier, Jibrin had hinted at the possibility of leaving the party.
According to him, “he is old enough to take a stand independently what is best for him politically.”
