NNPP: Court sets aside Kwankwaso’s suspension, restrains factional nat’l officers

A Kano State High Court has set aside the suspension of the leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

Justice Usman Mallam Na’Abba also stopped the factional national officers of the party, who had announced the suspension of Kwankwaso in August 2023, from acting as the party’s national officers.

Ruling on an ex parte motion dated February 14, the judge said, “An order of interim injunction is hereby granted setting aside the purported suspension of Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as a member of the applicant and restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission from recognizing the purported suspension pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.”
