The Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Midstream) and Member representing Kano Municipal Federal Constituency, Hon. Sagir Ibrahim Koki, has resigned from the New Nigeria People’s Party.
Koki shared his resignation on his official X handle on Wednesday, citing persistent leadership crises at the party’s national level.
In a letter addressed to the Zaitawa Ward Chairperson, he wrote: “By virtue of the right conferred upon me by Section 40 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), Article 7.1 of the NNPP Constitution and all other relevant extant laws, I do hereby resign my membership of the NNPP effective from Tuesday, the 11th Day of November, 2025.”
Hon. Koki, who joined the NNPP ahead of the 2023 general elections, won the Kano Municipal Federal Constituency seat, reflecting the party’s growing influence in Kano’s urban areas.
Explaining his decision, he said: “My decision to exit the NNPP becomes necessary because the internal crisis in the party leadership at the centre has made it difficult, if not impossible, for me to continue discharging my duties and provide my people, the good people of Kano Municipal, with the desired representation in the House of Representatives.”
He also expressed gratitude to the party, adding, “I thank the party most sincerely for the opportunity accorded me to serve under its platform. The support, trust and experience I have gained during my reign as a member have been invaluable, and I remain deeply grateful to the leadership and members of the party at all levels.”
