These are not the best of times for New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) leader, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

The National Executive Committee of NNPP has expelled him for alleged refusal to appear before the party’s Disciplinary Committee.

Mr. Abdulsalam Abdulrasaq, the Acting National Publicity Secretary of NNPP said:

“The NEC met in an emergency session on Friday, September 1 and resolved as follows:

“Following the refusal of Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to appear before the disciplinary committee which sat on Thursday, August 31 after being duly invited in writing, he is hereby expelled from NNPP with immediate effect.”

“That the erstwhile presidential candidate, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso will be reported to appropriate quarters to answer questions on financial impropriety relating to mismanagement of public funds.”
