Hon. Engr. Sagir Ibrahim Koki, Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Petroleum Resources and Member representing Kano Municipal Federal Constituency, has officially resigned from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), citing persistent leadership crises at the party’s national level.
The Independent Mirror reports that In a letter dated November 11, 2025, addressed to the Zaitawa Ward Chairperson, Koki stated that the internal crisis at the party’s centre made it “difficult, if not impossible” to deliver effective representation to his constituents.
“I have taken this decision 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 with the desired representation in the House of Representatives,” Koki wrote.
He thanked the party for the platform, describing the experience as “invaluable,” and noted that his resignation aligns with Section 40 of the 1999 Constitution and the NNPP Constitution.
Koki’s exit comes just two days after Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa, representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency, left the NNPP to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), pledging support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
“Today, in a show of solidarity, I was warmly received by thousands of my constituents. The gathering resolved to leave the NNPP/Kwankwasiyya, join the APC, and endorse President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term,” Jibrin announced via social media.
