Analysis: Why NNPP Suspended Kwankwaso

In what political analysts consider as controversial move, the NNPP Board of Trustees has announced the suspension of its Presidential candidate Engr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

NNPP is a party that gained national prominence with Kwankwanso as it’s leader and main driving force and this makes his suspension by the board a potentially curious development according to political observers of the party due to anti-party activities.

The NNPP National Working Committee (NWC) had also taken the decision to suspend two prominent members, Boniface Aniebonam, a founding member of the party, and Agbo Major, its National Publicity Secretary last week.

The suspension comes of the heels of numerous meetings between Kwankwaso and President Tinubu. With Kwankwaso rumoured to be seeking a role in Tinubu’s administration.

In May, Kwankwaso flew to Paris to see Tinubu who was on a private visit to France. In June, Kwankwaso paid a visit to Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Also on the 24th of August, Kwankwaso paid yet another visit to Tinubu to discuss “issues of national interest.”

That visit seems to have been the final straw that broke the camels back, with the NNPP announcing Kwakwaso’s suspension on the 29th of August.

In reaction to the development, commentators on social media hailed the party for making the bold decision while deriding the PDP for its inability to rein in party member and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over his over anti-party activities.
