The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano has made headlines with its recent decision to suspend two prominent members: the State Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, and the Commissioner of Transportation, Muhammad Diggol. This announcement was confirmed by the State party Chairman, Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, during a conversation with our reporter late on Monday.
The suspension of Bichi and Diggol follows the circulation of an audio clip in which the Chairman disclosed the decision. This clip quickly gained traction online, drawing attention to the internal issues within the party. The leadership’s move reflects an ongoing struggle for unity and discipline among its members.
According to Chairman Dungurawa, the reasons behind the suspensions were rooted in disloyalty, abuse of power, and the creation of chaos within the party ranks.
