The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has blamed its presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso as the reason the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sacked Kano governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf

The party claimed that Kwankwaso sold out NNPP to the All Progressives Congress in order to negotiate for a ministerial slot in president Tinubu-led administration.

Wakadaily reported that the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Kano State on Wednesday sacked Governor Yusuf and declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress Nasiru Gawuna, winner of the governorship poll.

Reacting to the tribunal’s verdict, one of the Chieftain of NNPP in Southwest, Alhaji Abass Akande Onilewura, in a statement on Thursday, said Kwankwaso involvement in anti-party activities led to the big loss the party is facing with the declaration of the Tribunal in Kano.

Onilewura said: “This loss is a big one for us at NNPP and it only happened because of the selfishness of Kwankwaso who sold the party to the highest bidder.

“While we are still waiting for the Certified True Copy of the tribunal judgment, it is important for the world to know that this would not have happened if Kwankwaso had allowed due process and given the ticket to the most qualified candidate but his inlaw.

“Our investigation also showed that the continuous engagement of Kwankwaso with APC at some point gave room for them to discover loopholes which were later used against the Kano governor to secure victory for the opposition.

It is unfortunate that some of us sweat to get the party to where it is today, only for someone like Kwankwaso to come and make all our efforts a waste. We are happy that someone like that has been expelled from this great party.

“We also want to use the avenue to warn him to stay clear of NNPP, we don’t want a betrayal in our party and we would do anything humanly possible to secure our party from hijackers who are more concerned about personal gain.

I will also urge our members across the country to remain calm because a new leadership has taken over the party and we would do everything to restore the glory of our party. NNPP will come out to become a strong voice and opposition that would stand for justice, equity, and good governance,” he added.
