Alhaji Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has dismissed Rabiu Kwankwaso’s suspension from the party.
Galadima labeled the Kwankwanso’s suspension a “Nollywood and Hollywood joke,” saying that the party remained fully intact.
A faction within the party decided to suspend Kwankwaso, who was the party’s presidential candidate for the February 25, 2023, election.

The faction cited “material evidence” in public affirming Kwankwaso’s involvement in “anti-party activities in various meetings.”
They further alleged that Kwankwaso engaged in unauthorized political discussions with President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP).
However, Galadima emphasized that the leaders of the faction responsible for Kwankwaso’s suspension have been expelled from the NNPP.

He said:
“Now let me make a small correction, those that were expelled were Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam and Gabriel Agbor Major.
“All of them who were expelled were called to a disciplinary committee. They were drilled and they accepted their sins and it was on the basis of their acceptance that they were recommended to the Nation Working Committee for expulsion.”
He further spoke on the accusations of anti-party activities against the former Kano governor when he appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday night.
The NNPP chieftain said:
“As a politician, we can meet with anybody.
“He took permission from us. “Whatever the case, Kwankwaso had permission from the party to meet with President Tinubu and talk to any other political group. So, he didn’t do this on his own.”
