Sources reveal that the NNPP caucus has endorsed Madaki’s removal as Deputy Minority Leader following his public disassociation from the Kwankwasiyya movement, a faction tied to the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. Madaki has instead pledged allegiance to the party’s founding father, Boniface Aniebonam.

According to ireporteronline, 15 NNPP lawmakers signed a motion supporting Madaki’s removal, while three members—Alhassan Rurum (Rano/Kibiya/Bunkure), Abdullahi Sani (Karaye/Rogo), and Madaki himself—opposed the decision.

In a letter addressed to Speaker Abbas Tajudeen on Monday, the NNPP leadership nominated Tijjani Jobe, representing Dawakin Tofa/Tofa/Rimingado Federal Constituency, as Madaki’s replacement.

The letter, signed by NNPP National Chairman Ajuji Ahmed and Secretary Dipo Olayoku, stated:
“The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) wishes to extend greetings to you, the leadership, and the entire members of the House of Representatives. We write this letter to forward the name of the Party’s most ranking member, HON TIJJANI ABDULKADIR JOBE, to replace Hon Aliyu Sani Madaki as Deputy Minority Leader of the House.”

The party urged Speaker Tajudeen to address the matter swiftly, emphasizing its significance for the NNPP caucus and the legislative body.

This development reflects growing tensions within the NNPP, as internal factions vie for control and influence in Nigeria’s political landscape.
