Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) Kogi State chapter has removed its Executive Committee (EXCO) under the leadership of Barrister Abubakar Aliyu over allegations of gross misconduct,embezzlement,unconstitutional acts and brazen impunity to the bi-laws and rules guiding the administration of the association.
Addressing a press conference recently in Lokoja, Honourable Abubakar Ibrahim Danlami of Democratic Peoples Party (DPP), on behalf of 15 registered opposition political parties in Kogi state, accused the ousted Chairman, Barrister Aliyu of impunity, total disregard for human dignity and a complete sellout to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Danlami further explained that Barrister Aliyu who was Chairman of the United Progressives Party (UPP) before being elected as CNPP Chairman is now a Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to Governor Idris Wada on Scholarship.
“Barrister Aliyu has abandoned the CNPP and has almost turned it to an append age of government house and the PDP, thereby defeating the aims and objectives of the formation of a credible opposition that could check-mate the ruling PDP in the state.
Danladi who now heads the Caretaker Committee of the CNPP pending the conduct of the election into various positions has two other members; Iliyasu Badanga and Samuel Aboh as Secretary and Treasurer respectively.
He lamented that the” sit tight” Chairman reigned after six years as against the constitutional provision of a two year tenure. “In our own the lawyer who was the Chairman has to be forced out of office as his tenure expired since 2013 December” the spokesman stated.
“He has been using the CNPP to feather his nest without regard to the members of the association. He collected a lot of things on behalf of the association from government without the knowledge of other members.” the Care Taker Chairman disclosed.
The deposed Chairman, Barrister Abubakar Aliyu who reacted to his removal, said nobody can remove him rather, those that plotted against him have been suspended from CNPP and will deal with them if they did not stay out of the affairs of the conglomerate of political parties in the state.
DAILY POST was reliably informed that the matter is being investigated by the police to find a lasting solution to the crisis.
