The Kano State chapter of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has expelled Abdulmumin Jibrin, the House of Representatives member for Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency, citing alleged anti-party activities and failure to meet financial obligations.
The announcement was made on Saturday by the NNPP State Chairman, Alhaji Hashim Dungurawa, during a briefing with journalists in Kano.
Dungurawa said Jibrin’s expulsion followed repeated public criticisms of the party and its leadership, as well as his associations with political opponents of former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
“Instead of dialogue, he went further to work against our interest, openly declaring loyalty outside the party. That is why we expelled him. He has no value to add,” Dungurawa stated.
The chairman also accused Jibrin of failing to pay his mandatory party dues, warning that the party would pursue legal action to recover the arrears.
“We will drag him to court to recover what he owes the party. It is a constitutional requirement for every member to pay dues, but he has consistently failed to do so,” he said.
Addressing speculations that Jibrin might return to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dungurawa insisted that the Kwankwasiyya movement remained firmly behind Kwankwaso.
“If he was truly strong politically, he would have won his election under the APC, but he failed. It was when he joined NNPP through Kwankwasiyya that he became a House of Reps member. Now he is deceiving himself thinking he is strong,” he added.
Jibrin, who previously served as Director-General of the Bola Tinubu Support Groups Management Council, rejoined Kwankwaso in 2022 and leveraged the Kwankwasiyya movement to secure his return to the House of Representatives.
In recent weeks, he had hinted at a possible departure from the NNPP.
His expulsion marks another development in Kano’s dynamic political landscape, where both the APC and NNPP are positioning ahead of the 2027 general elections.
