The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Kano has sacked Hashimu Dungurawa, state party chairman, less than two weeks after his re-election.
The decision was taken by 27 executive members of the party in Gargari ward, Dawakin Tofa local government area, during their second meeting after the general election.
The meeting was presided over by Shuaibu Hassan, ward chairman, alongside Yahaya Saidu Dungurawa, ward secretary.
The ward executives accused Dungurawa of actions they said had deepened internal rifts and weakened party cohesion.
Dungurawa is a political associate of Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Kano governor and national leader of the NNPP.
They alleged that he fuelled internal crises, failed to remit party dues, and made disparaging comments against Abba Yusuf, Kano governor.
According to the executives, the conduct undermined party unity, damaged its public image, and stalled progress at the grassroots.
They said the decision was taken in line with provisions of the party’s constitution to enforce discipline and internal harmony.
In a statement, the executives disclosed that copies of the resolution had been forwarded to the party’s leadership at the local government, state, and national levels.
“A total of 27 executive members signed the resolution endorsing the decision, which was reached during the ward’s second executive meeting held two weeks after the general election, under the leadership of the Ward Chairman, Shuaibu Hassan flanked by his secretary Yahaya Saidu Dungurawa,” the executives said.
“Dungurawa was removed over allegations of creating divisions within the party, instigating internal crises, failure to pay party dues, and making abusive remarks against the Governor of Kano state.”
They added that Kwankwaso and Yusuf, had been informed of the development and “further directives” awaited.
The Gargari ward executives said the removal was intended as a warning to party members who abuse their offices or act in disregard of party rules.
They reaffirmed loyalty to Kwankwaso and pledged continued support for the NNPP-led government in Kano.
The executives also restated their commitment to peace, unity, and the growth of the party.
