Today's Headlines: We Did Not Suspend Kwankwaso–NNPP, I Dare Anyone To Suspend Me From PDP- Wike
We did not suspend Kwankwaso – NNPP
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has refuted the purported suspension of Rabiu Kwankwaso, the 2023 presidential candidate of the party.
The party’s national auditor, Ladipo Johnson, stated this at a news conference on Wednesday at the NNPP national headquarters in Abuja.
Johnson, a former spokesperson for the Kwankwaso Presidential Campaign Council, declared that the suspension was null and void.
A faction of the party, headed by its former Board of Trustees (BoT) chairman, Boniface Aniebonan, suspended Kwankwaso on Tuesday for six months over alleged anti-party activities after a parallel National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Lagos.
It also appointed the former National Publicity Secretary of the party, Major Agbo, as the acting national chairman.
Johnson, however, said that Aniebonam and Agbo were suspended for three months on Aug. 24 for engaging in unwholesome acts before they were later expelled from the party.

Wike, who spoke exclusively on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday, said he has not seen the party chieftain who will suspend or expel him from the party. “Who will discipline me? I should be the one calling for the discipline of these people who violated the party’s constitution, in the way that the party supported rotation.
