"Jibrin, Kwankwaso's associate, opens up on leaving NNPP: 'It's Time for Action'"
In the political landscape of Nigeria, a significant shift has occurred as Abdulmumin Jibrin, the representative for Kiru/Bebeji constituency, hints at leaving the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP).
Jibrin's association with the NNPP played a pivotal role in his return to the House of Representatives in 2023. However, it's important to clarify that the party did not provide any contracts to him, contrary to some speculations.
Jibrin, a seasoned politician, has made it clear that he is old enough to make independent political decisions. This assertion is not new, as he has consistently maintained his stance, even when faced with challenges.
Despite not receiving any direct assistance from northern political leaders during his suspension from the House of Representatives in 2016, Jibrin has been a close ally of former Governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso. His support for Kwankwaso's Kwankwasiyya movement has been unwavering, and he has used his resources to bolster the movement.
However, Jibrin has never requested for any contracts, despite contributing to the success of the NNPP in Kano state. This fact underscores his commitment to merit and self-reliance in politics.
Recent developments suggest that Jibrin may have already left the NNPP, following his expulsion due to alleged anti-party activities and non-payment of dues. Yet, he has not revealed his new political position.
Jibrin has made it clear that he is free to choose his political allegiances, and he will make his decision known when the time is right. He has not ruled out the possibility of returning to the All Progressives Congress (APC), joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC), People's Democratic Party (PDP), or even the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).
Interestingly, Jibrin's political journey mirrors the Kwankwasiyya movement, which has stood by him just as he has stood for it. This mutual respect and support are hallmarks of their political relationship.
In a surprising turn of events, Jibrin has also stated that he will continue to respect Kwankwaso as his leader, even if they are no longer in the same party. This statement underscores the deep-rooted respect and loyalty that exists between the two politicians.
The NNPP, for its part, has stated that it is open to negotiations with other parties. This openness suggests a willingness to adapt and collaborate in the ever-evolving political landscape of Nigeria.
As the political landscape continues to shift, the future of Abdulmumin Jibrin and the NNPP remains uncertain. However, one thing is clear: both parties are resilient and committed to their respective paths.
In the words of Jibrin himself, "I can go to any party I choose, and will make my decision known when the time is right." Until then, we wait with bated breath to see where the political journey of Abdulmumin Jibrin will lead.
