Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for Kano State’s governorship, has asserted that his party will oust the current administration in the 2027 elections. Speaking after his affirmation event, Gwarzo, a former deputy governor, declared that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) would fail to secure a second term.
Addressing a crowd of supporters, Gwarzo emphasized the strength and unity of the Kwankwasiyya movement, a faction led by Rabiu Kwankwaso. He stated, “We are the followers of Kwankwaso, and through relentless prayer and effort, by Allah’s will, we will defeat this government decisively.” He described the enthusiasm within the movement as a sign that democratic change is achievable.
Gwarzo outlined a strategy centered on grassroots mobilization and continuous public engagement, which he believes will be pivotal in the upcoming election. He called on his supporters to remain peaceful and law-abiding as political activities ramp up. “We must expand our reach while staying calm and respecting the law,” he urged.
He also advised Kano residents to evaluate the performance of political leaders carefully and make informed choices at the polls. The NDC candidate expressed confidence that the party’s message of a new direction for the state would resonate with voters, leading to a single-stroke victory over the incumbent.
