2019: NNPP guber aspirant resigns as chairman, 25000 others decamp to PDP in Bauchi

Governorship aspirant of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, in
Bauchi State, Alhaji Mahmood Maijamaa has confirmed his exit from the
party.

Chairman of Bogoro NNPP, Mr Ishaku Andrawus also dumped the party
alongside 25,000 of his followers to the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP.

Maijamaa exclusively disclosed his resignation to DAILY POST, in an
interview in Bauchi on Tuesday.

Although the former NNPP guber aspirant did not mention his next
political party, he also declined to state why he dumped the party
along with his supporters.

"For now, I have not decided which party to join apart from my exit
from NNPP but I will make my political direction public as soon as
possible," Maijama said.

Meanwhile, Andrawus, the party's chairman in Bogoro LGA of the state,
dumped the NNPP for PDP along with 25,000 of his followers.

He cited absence of justice especially in abrogating his official
obligation as his major reason for dumping the party.

According to Andrawus, his resignation was imperative to save his
political career and to protect democracy.

"By this letter I have exited the party alongside 25,000 of my
followers to PDP where I initially belonged in order to support
Speaker Yakubu Dogara in the 2019 election," Andrawus said.

He stressed that the NNPP has lost many of its members to the
opposition party in recent times in the state due to injustice.

"I have also from today withdrawn my membership from NNPP with
immediate effect," the former chairman said.
