 WORLD PRESS CONFERENCE

HELD TODAY 16TH DAY OF APRIL, 2024 @ NEW NIGERIA PEOPLE'S PARTY ( NNPP) NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS, WILLANDS PLAZA, WUSE ZONE 4, ABUJA.

IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION OF GOV. ABBAH YUSUF FROM NNPP.

Gentle men of the press,

We called this media conference to brief you on the developments resulting from the recent invitation extended to Gov Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano to appear before a disciplinary committee to explain infractions on the party constitution. Nigerians need to know the position of New Nigeria People's Party following the failure of the governor to appear before the Disciplinary Committee as directed by The Board of Trustees of NEW NIGERIA PEOPLE'S PARTY (NNPP) at the National Headquarters located at Willand Plaza, Wuse Zone 4, Abuja  to explain the reason(s) why His Excellency who was elected on the party's platform and a national figure of NNPP participated in an illegal/ factional national convention of NNPP held by the kwankwasiya group at A CLASS EVENT CENTER, Wuse 2 Abuja on Saturday 6th April, 2024.

In Accordance with Article 39 sub section 4 of our Constitution, a Disciplinary Committee  headed by  Barrister Monday Mawah as Chairman  and Prince Adetoyese Omokanye as Secretary was set up and Gov Abba was expected to appear before it on Monday 15th April 2024 but failed and never give any reason for his inability to appear.

In accordance with Article 39.0, 39(1-4) on disciplinary procedures, His Excellency Abba Yusuf was availed with an unfettered opportunity to explore all  openings to resolve the issues being investigated as stipulated therein in relation to allegations of gross misconduct brought against him. He however failed to take advantage of this by not appearing.

His Excellency Gov Abba Yusuf who was expected to appear and  explain to the Committee the reason(s) why Article 39. 6 (e,f & g) shall not be invoked as sanctions against him as a member of New Nigeria People's Party failed to making the Committee to submit its report including recommendations for the urgent consideration of the National Working Committee.

The leadership of NNPP in order to strengthen our internal discilpinary and democratic measures most especially in the area of Party supremacy without prejudice is left with no any other options than to decisively take necessary action according to the letters of NNPP Constitution 2022 as amended.

With the approval of the Board of Trustees of NEW NIGERIA PEOPLE'S PARTY (NNPP) and unianimous decision of the National Working Committee ( NWC) of our great Party, His Excellency, Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State is hereby suspended for six months with immediate effect.

Thank you very much.

Signed;

Comrade Oginni Olaposi Sunday,

National Secretary,

NNPP Headquarters, Willlands Plaza, Wuse Abuja.
