The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano has announced the suspension of the State Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, and the Commissioner of Transportation, Muhammad Diggol.
The State Party Chairman, Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, confirmed this to our reporter late Monday. An audio clip in which he announced the suspensions had gone viral earlier.
He stated that the duo was suspended due to disloyalty, abuse of power, and creating chaos within the party.
“We are announcing today that we have suspended SSG Abdullahi Baffa Bichi and Commissioner of Transportation Muhammad Diggol over abuse of power, office, and disloyalty to the party.
“We commend the leadership of the party from their wards and the Local Government for bringing the issue to our attention in writing. They are all from Bichi North, where they originated.
“As leaders of the party, we have considered this the best decision to take until we conclude our investigation into the matter.”
The situation has led to a growing crisis in the Bichi area of the NNPP among party stakeholders.
