The Kwankwasiyya Movement has emphasized that unity, discipline, and sacrifice among its supporters are crucial for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) to triumph in the 2027 general elections. This message was conveyed in a statement released on Saturday by the movement’s spokesperson, Hon. Habibu Sale Mohammed.
In the statement, the movement lauded members who took part in the recent consensus process for various elective positions in Kano State. It praised aspirants who withdrew or accepted the outcomes, describing their actions as a sign of loyalty and political maturity.
The statement noted, “The true strength of a political movement lies not just in fielding candidates, but in the readiness of its members to prioritize collective goals over personal ambitions.” It added that these actions affirm the Kwankwasiyya Movement as one of Nigeria’s most disciplined and ideologically grounded political forces.
Special commendation was given to Senator Rufai Sani Hanga for stepping aside in favor of the consensus arrangement, calling it a rare sacrifice and a mark of genuine leadership. The statement also acknowledged former Governor and Senator Kabiru Ibrahim Gaya for accepting the movement’s decision on candidates for Kano South, noting that such gestures bolster group unity.
The movement congratulated all consensus candidates, including its governorship candidate, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, stating that their emergence reflects the trust of the leadership and members.
Kwankwasiyya urged all candidates to view themselves not merely as political contestants but as ambassadors of its ideals. “They are expected to conduct themselves with humility, discipline, integrity, and unwavering commitment to good governance and social justice,” the statement added.
The movement called on members and supporters to remain united and focused, stressing that continued cohesion will be instrumental in securing electoral victory for the NDC in 2027.
