Jibrin Accepts Expulsion, Begs Party To Jettison Litigation Over Unpaid Dues – Independent Newspaper Nigeria

AbdulMumuni Jibrin Kofa, member representing Kiru/Bebeji on Saturday, accepted his expulsion from the New Nigeria People’s Party NNPP over an alleged anti-party activity.

Jibrin Kofa, in an official statement published on his verified Facebook page, said, “I am obliged to accept the decision of the party in good faith and without grudges.”

He, however, said, “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.”

The statement read in parts, “I will rather wish the party well and go in peace. I beg the party to allow me also go in peace.”

“On the issue of non-payment of my dues, I am appealing to the party that there is no need to go to court, as I have never refused to pay my dues. I respectfully request that the party send me the invoice, and I will promptly pay. I have always advocated for harmonious relationships in Kano and Nigeria, so I am appealing to NNPP to stay on the part of decorum without personal attacks or throwing abuses and insults as we part ways. For me, the relationship will continue irrespective of party affiliation. “

“The party’s position on political value is no news to me. The party does not believe anybody has political value and comes short in treating people with the respect they deserve at various levels. This case is a clear instance. I am grateful to the Almighty for whatever value I have, no matter how little, and will be more than glad to invest it where it will be appreciated with dignity, rather than a place where no matter what you bring on board, you are a nobody and you brought nothing!”

“While thanking the party for the support I enjoyed during our sojourn, I am proud of my contributions to the party and movement over the years. Whether it is acknowledged or not, I am happy enough with Allah SWT as witness. “

“I welcome all my supporters who wish to join me in my new journey. But for those who chose to remain in NNPP, I hold no grudges against them, and I look forward to keeping a peaceful and harmonious relationship with them both at the local, state and national levels.”

“Finally, I will carefully weigh all the options before me as I decide on my next political home. SO HELP ME GOD. “
