Reason Why Kwankwaso Was Expelled From NNPP – Agbo Major
Agbo Major, a prominent member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has reiterated that the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has been expelled.
Major, now asserting himself as the party chairman, asserted that Kwankwaso’s expulsion was prompted by an effort by the former Kano State governor and his supporters to wrest control of the party from its original founders.
“The whole idea was ‘okay this man (founder) is a good man, he is somebody who listens and so on and so forth, so let us dominate him and take over the party’, that was what they wanted but they found in us the commitment to ensure that that never happened,” Major said on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.

According to him, Kwankwaso’s group joined the party last year after an agreement was signed to give them opportunity to contest the 2023 elections.
“They joined us last year for the purpose of the election. They joined us on the strength of an instrument, a MoU which gave them an opportunity to run for various elective positions for the 2023 general election.
“That MoU is explicitly stated that at the end of the election they could go their way or we come back again to redesign that marriage and see if we will be able to continue or not, but when we saw their activities we discovered that there is no way the marriage is going to continue, we had to ask them to go and that is the situation now,” he said.
The NNPP has been embroiled in internal turmoil following the 2023 elections, witnessing factions within the party resorting to suspensions and expulsions against each other.
The Agbo Major group, primarily comprising longstanding party members, is in conflict with another faction consisting of loyalists to Kwankwaso, who served as the party’s presidential candidate.
