Breaking News: NNPP Chairman Kaduna, Suspended
The Kaduna State chapter of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, has suspended its Chairman, Muhammad Lawal Sultan, for six months over acts of gross misconduct.
In a release signed by its Secretary, Dr. Joshua Madaki, the SWC of the party announced that it has appointed Hon. Jumare Tanimu Magaji in an acting capacity pending the expiration of the six-month suspension.
The party said the suspension followed a meeting in which it deliberated on the conduct of Sultan’s leadership over the months and found him wanting against the explicit provisions of the NNPP constitution.
“The suspension is based on relevant provisions of the NNPP constitution bordering on gross acts of misconduct that violated its provisions.”
It further stated that the acting Chairman, Jumare, was a councillor from 1999 to 2002 under the APP, a member of the Kaduna State House of Assembly from 2007 to 2009 under the ANPP, and contested for the House of Representatives three times. In 2012, he served as an adviser to the Lere Local Government Chairman. Before his recent appointment, he was the State Treasurer of the NNPP.
“He is a man of principle and proven integrity who believes in carrying people along and has the conscience of the NNPP at heart.
“As a unifier, the SWC believes he will use his wealth of democratic experience and leverage to unify and defend the NNPP’s interests in the state and beyond.”
The release said the SWC has also notified all relevant stakeholders, including the NNPP National Secretariat, INEC, the State Police, the DSS, and the Civil Defence Corps.
The Secretary then warned the suspended Chairman, Sultan, to desist from parading himself as the Kaduna NNPP Chairman henceforth, while cautioning anyone not to have any business dealings with him in the name of the party within the stipulated six-month period, saying anyone who does so does so at his own risk.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
