The National Working Committee of the New Nigeria Peoples Party has condemned the resignation of Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, from the party, describing his decision as a betrayal of the mandate entrusted to him by the people.
In a statement released on Saturday and signed by the NNPP National Publicity Secretary, Ladipo Johnson, the party faulted the governor’s claim that the NNPP was engulfed in an unresolved internal crisis, insisting that such claims were unfounded and made after the fact.
The NNPP said it received the news of the governor’s resignation with “deep pain and disappointment,” noting that Yusuf rose to power on the strength of the Kwankwasiyya political movement and the trust of the Kano electorate.
The party warned that the governor’s action could reverse the political and developmental gains recorded in the state, arguing that his defection may return Kano to political forces previously rejected by the electorate.
Governor Yusuf formally resigned from the NNPP on Friday and is expected to align with the All Progressives Congress (APC).
