NNPP denies suspending Kano governor Yusuf

According to some sources, however, the NNPP rejected Governor Yusuf’s suspension, claiming there was no justification for it.

A section within the party suspended the governor on Tuesday, April 16, for allegedly engaging in anti-party actions.

The NNPP’s interim national chairman, Ahmed Ajuji, told reporters that the people who made the announcement about the suspension were only attention-seekers.
