Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Emerges NDC Governorship Candidate as Gawuna Accepts Senate Ticket

The immediate past Deputy Governor of Kano State, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has emerged as the governorship candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kano State following the decision of a major contender, Nasiru Gawuna, to accept the Kano Central Senatorial ticket.

Gawuna, who had earlier rejected the senatorial offer, reportedly reversed his decision after consultations with political allies and stakeholders, paving the way for Abdussalam’s emergence as the party’s governorship flagbearer ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Meanwhile, sources within the Kwankwasiyya political movement disclosed that the Leader of the movement and former Governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has endorsed Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo as the preferred governorship candidate of the NDC.

According to sources familiar with the development, the decision followed extensive consultations among party stakeholders, political allies, and influential figures across Kano State.

The sources further stated that Abdussalam earned the confidence of the movement’s leadership due to his longstanding loyalty, commitment, and active role in sustaining the ideals and political structure of the Kwankwasiyya movement over the years.

Further details are expected as events continue to unfold.
