The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has announced the expulsion of its Northeast Zonal Secretary, Alhaji Babayo Liman over alleged misconduct and indiscipline.
The decision of the party was contained in a press statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Agbo Major Gilbert, and made available to newsmen in Abuja, over the weekend.
The statement read in part: “the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has viewed with serious concern the activities of the former North-East Zonal Secretary, Alhaji Babayo Liman in the past few months, which are in contrast to what the Party stands for, and we can no longer fold our arms.
“Alhaji Babayo Liman, through his gross misconduct and indiscipline can no longer continue to be a member of our great party.
“Consequently, the national leadership of the Party wishes to inform the general public that Alhaji Babayo Liman is no longer a member of the Party and its North-East Zonal Secretary.
“We in the NNPP are concerned with bringing about a new Nigeria, and such behaviors exhibited by Alhaji Babayo Liman do not represent our highly cherished values.
The party, therefore, warned Alhaji Babayo Liman to stop parading himself under whatever guise as a member of the NNPP.
“By this, the party also wishes to draw the attention of all Nigerians to stop dealing with Babayo on behalf of the party,” the statement concluded.
