Jinrin Accepts Expulsion from NNPP, Accuses Party of a lack of fair Hearing
A member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has accepted his expulsion from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) but accused the party of a lack of fair hearing.
The member representing Kiru/Bebeji was expelled from the opposition over alleged anti-party activities and to non-payment of dues.
However, in a statement hours after the move, the lawmaker criticised the party for not giving him the chance of to fair hearing before the decision.
“While I would have loved to stay in the NNPP and continue my service to our people and country despite differences on some issues (which I will address elaborately in due course to avoid people being misled), the party has made and announced a decision. I am therefore obliged to accept the decision of the party in good faith and without grudges,” the former NNPP chieftain wrote in the statement issued on Saturday evening.
“But for the respect I have for the party, its members, and leaders, I would have viewed this action as null and void, as it failed to follow due process or come from a factional group of the party and test it in court. I will rather wish the party well and go in peace. I beg the party to allow me also go in peace.”
