My NNPP Journey Has Ended, Next Chapter To Come – Abdulmumin Jibrin

Abdulmumin Jibrin Bids Farewell to NNPP, Eyes New Political Horizon

In a dramatic turn of events, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa, the federal lawmaker representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency in Kano State, has formally announced the end of his affiliation with the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).

The announcement follows his expulsion from the party, a decision he described as both “a surprise and a rude shock.”

Jibrin’s departure was triggered by allegations of anti-party activities and failure to meet financial obligations, as cited by the NNPP’s Kano State chapter. However, in a personally signed statement, Jibrin contested the process, lamenting the absence of fair hearing. He claimed that no invitation was extended to him to defend or explain himself before any organ of the party, a move he believes contradicts the NNPP’s professed commitment to justice and due process.

The lawmaker stood by the contents of his recent interviews in both English and Hausa, which he said were consistent with the party’s principles of free expression. He expressed disappointment that such public commentary could warrant expulsion, especially in a party that claims to embrace dissenting views. Despite the perceived injustice, Jibrin chose to accept the decision “in good faith and without grudges,” opting not to challenge it in court out of respect for the party and its members.

Addressing the issue of unpaid dues, Jibrin appealed to the NNPP to send him an invoice, promising to settle any outstanding payments promptly. He urged the party to maintain decorum and avoid personal attacks as they part ways, emphasizing that political relationships should remain cordial regardless of affiliation.

Jibrin also criticized the party’s treatment of its members, stating that the NNPP “does not believe anybody has political value” and often fails to treat people with the respect they deserve. He expressed a desire to invest his political capital “where it will be appreciated with dignity.”

As he closes this chapter, Jibrin thanked the NNPP for the support he received during his time in the party. He signaled that he would carefully evaluate his options before announcing his next political move, inviting his supporters to join him on the journey ahead.
