The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has suspended the Secretary to the Kano State Government, Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi.
Mr Bichi was suspended Monday evening alongside Commissioner for Transport, Muhammad Diggol.
Chairman of NNPP, Kano State Chapter, Hashimu Sulaiman Dungurawa, announced the suspension Monday evening.
Tbis is coming hours after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf said he reconciled Baffa Bichi and the chairmanship candidate of the party in Bichi local government in the forthcoming local government election, Hamza Sule Maifata.
The chairman said the suspension came after the party received multiple complaints from the ward and local government leadership of the party.
He said the top officials were suspended because of disrespecting the party and its leadership.
“The party cannot tolerate actions that undermine its leadership and structure. After receiving formal complaint letters from their wards, and upon confirmation of the allegations by the local leadership, we had no other option but to take this decisive step,” Dungurawa stated.
The NNPP leadership in Kano North, under the chairmanship of Sulaiman Dambatta, also verified the allegations, which led to the ultimate decision to suspend both officials.
