The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has suspended the Secretary to the Kano State Government, Dr Abdullahi Bichi, and the Commissioner for Transport, Muhammad Diggol.
The Kano State NNPP chairman, Hashimu Dungurawa, announced the suspension of the two government officials on Monday evening.
According to Dungurawa, the suspension came after the party received multiple complaints from the ward and local government leadership of the party.
Dungurawa said they were suspended because they were disrespecting the party and its leadership.
“The party cannot tolerate actions that undermine its leadership and structure. After receiving formal complaint letters from their wards, and upon confirmation of the allegations by the local leadership, we have no other option but to take this decisive step”, Dungurawa stated.
The leadership of the NNPP in Kano North, under the chairmanship of Sulaiman Dambatta, further verified the allegations, which led to the ultimate decision to suspend both officials.
The suspension comes a few moments after the Kano State Governor’s spokesman Sanusi Tofa announced that the state governor, Abba Yusuf has reconciled Baffa Bichi and the chairmanship candidate of Bichi Local Government, Hamza Sule Maifata
