Why NNPP faction suspended Governor Yusuf
The faction reached the conclusion following the failure of the governor to appear before a disciplinary committee set up to address the alleged anti-party activities by the governor, The Punch reported.
Governor Yusuf's suspension was announced by Ogini Olaposi, the faction's national secretary, at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, April 16.
In reacting to the suspension, Ahmed Ajuji, the acting national chairman of the NNPP, who addressed journalists on the matter on Thursday, April 18, maintained that Governor Yusuf remained a bonafide member of the member of the NNPP.
Why Governor Yusuf's suspension can't stand
Ajuji said those who announced the governor's suspension for taking part in the NNPP convention were mere political jesters, attention seekers, and mercenaries. He added that their threat was irrelevant.
He also said the faction also attempted to scuttle the governor's chances at the tribunal, court of appeal, and Supreme Court when they claimed that the party did not duly nominate the governor.
His statement reads in part:
“To God be the glory, the Supreme Court Justices, in their wisdom, saw through their lies and agreed with us and the INEC that Yusuf is a bonafide member of NNPP.”
NNPP stakeholders ask Gov Yusuf to resign
