Kaduna state chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Mr. Ben Kure yesterday announced his resignation and exit from the party.
This was coming barely a week after the State Working Committee of the party announced Kure’s sack.
Kure said he had tendered his resignation to the National Secretariat of the party on December 6.
He alleged that the governorship candidate of the party, Suleiman Othman Hunkuyi, among other unconstitutional interferences, did not allow him to operate freely for the betterment of the party in the State.
When contacted, Hunkuyi said, “I have no comment”.
Kure was removed on December 6 following a vote of no confidence passed on him by the state working committee of the NNPP at its meeting and deliberations.
The motion for the removal was moved by zone 3 Vice Chairman, Hosea Baba and seconded by the state organising secretary, Alhaji Sa’ad Idris Kudan.
Kure said: “Having done the best I could, it is time to move on with my life. My experience with NNPP in Kaduna is regrettable. I do not ever hope to have anything to do with the majority of the state Exco members. I, therefore, wish to inform you and all my supporters and associates that I have resigned as the Kaduna State chairman of NNPP and I am no longer a member of the party. I will take a rest, reflect on my political future and inform the public appropriately.”
