Crisis in the Kano State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) deepened yesterday as a faction of the party “purportedly” suspended a former governor of the state, Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso.
The PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, however said Kwankwaso as a member of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) can’t be easily suspended without following the provisions of the party’s constitution.
“The PDP states clearly that Senator Kwankwaso is not suspended from the party. Any claim of suspension by any individual or group, purporting to be representing any organ of our party at any level, is a mere fabrication and should be discountenanced,” the party said.
