Chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, in Kano State, Hashimu Dungurawa, says he remains the legitimate leader of the party in the state.
Dungurawa dismissed recent attempts by some ward executives to sack him.
He spoke about 24 hours after executives of Gargari Ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area signed a resolution to expel him from the party.
“This is not their right to expel me. I am also a member of the National Executive Committee of the party, and they cannot override that authority,” he said.
He said he was surprised over the purported expulsion, stressing that he was yet to understand the reasons behind the move.
Dungurawa cautioned that legal action would be taken against those parading themselves as party leaders.
“We will arrest them for impersonation for parading themselves as leaders of the NNPP,” Dungurawa added.
