Why NNPP faction suspend Governor Yusuf

The faction had 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 bona fide 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, and their threat was irrelevant.

He added that these people also moved to scuttle the governor’s change at the tribunal, court of appeal, and Supreme Court when they claimed that the governor was not duly nominated by the party.

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.”
