The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has dissolved its entire executive committees in Kano State, from state to local government and ward levels, in a move widely seen as a preemptive response to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s planned defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement issued on Friday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ladipo Johnson, the National Working Committee (NWC) announced the dissolution after an emergency meeting at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja, citing compliance with the party’s constitution. The NWC said caretaker committees would be appointed shortly to manage affairs in the interim, while expressing gratitude to outgoing officials for their contributions.
