The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 elections, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, commended the expulsion Abdulmumin Jibrin from the party.
Jibrin, the member representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency was expelled following an interview where he said that he could leave the party.
Speaking on Thursday when he received elders and traditional title holders from the Kiru/Bebeji constituency on a solidarity visit at his Kano residence, Kwankwaso said the expulsion was both necessary and timely.
He said the NNPP would field a stronger candidate to replace Mr Kofa in the 2027 elections.

,Kwankwaso said, “This decision on the lawmaker (Jibrin) is a necessary one because this movement is very important to us as it is our life and that of our supporters. By extension, it is the life of our state and the country at large.
“Any movement is bound to fail without a good leadership and we do not want this movement to fail. Most of the time, it is proper to do away with disloyal followers to enable the movement to be successful.
“You are aware of all what happened but most importantly, we support the NNPP Chairman, Hashimu Dungurawa, for taking the decision on behalf of the party, because we believe it is a good move towards reforming the party.
“When the election time comes, we will carefully nominate a better candidate, who will represent the good people of the constituency, the party and its members well in the assembly.”
