Key members of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) across the 19 Northern States, grouped as Concerned NNPP Stakeholders, have expressed their lack of confidence in Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State.
In a recent communique, signed by group President Hon. Attahiru Musa, Secretary Hon. Simon Pam, and other officials, the NNPP leaders voiced their disillusionment with the direction the party has taken under Governor Yusuf’s leadership.
The communique highlighted the party’s failure to meet expectations in Kano State, criticizing the current leadership as being inferior to both the central government and the preceding state administration.
“The party succeeded in selling its philosophy to millions of citizens who craved a change from the old guards.
“Governor Abba Yusuf was considered as the fresh air to clear the mess of successive governments. To the ordinary resident, Abba was a messiah.
“Sadly, however, the NNPP leadership has been worse than the government at the centre and the previous administration. As stakeholders, we can no longer pretend that all is well when clearly, nothing is working. Kano State was supposed to be the model for the Federal Government to follow.
“It was supposed to be the epicentre of good governance and quality leadership. However, we have been left in disappointment, without a voice to challenge the APC government,” they claimed.
The tension between Governor Yusuf and his predecessor, Umar Ganduje, who is the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been noted, with the state government committing to pursue legal action against Ganduje for alleged financial misconduct during his tenure as governor.
