EXCLUSIVE: NNPP Lawmaker Dumps Kwankwaso, Urges Governor Yusuf to Follow Suit
The member representing Rano/Kibiya/Bunkure Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, has dumped Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) faction and declared support for the camp led by Dr. Boniface Aniebonam.
The member said the NNPP with the logo of Fruits under Dr Boniface remains the authentic one and not the one with Book which Kwankwaso is leading.
He also called on Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to affirm his authority in the affairs of the state and stop receiving instructions from Kwankwaso.

In a chat with Politics Digest on Sunday evening, Rurum affirmed his loyalty to the governor and assured the people of Kano and his constituents that the governor will do the needful.
When asked whether he will leave the party, he told this paper that he is still in NNPP under its founder Dr Boniface and condemned Senator Kwankwaso for allegedly hijacking the party for selfish interest.
“Dr Boniface supported Kwankwaso, gave him a platform, it will be wrong to hijack the party from him and treat him badly,” he said.
Politics Digest exclusively gathered that some members of the House of Representatives and State House of Assembly under NNPP are putting pressure on the governor to dump Senator Kwankwaso in the interest of the state.
