The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has officially affirmed former Kano State Deputy Governor, Aminu Gwarzo, as its gubernatorial candidate for the 2027 general elections.
In his acceptance speech, Gwarzo vowed to unseat Gov. Abba Kabir-Yusuf and take over Kano State Government House by May 29 next year.
He said the battle line had just been drawn between them and the governor, stressing that the governor had only one term to spend in office.
The former deputy governor, who parted ways with Gov. Yusuf after defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC), said betrayers would pay heavily for their actions.
He pledged to run a people-friendly government and wipe tears from the faces of Kano residents.
Earlier, the party leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, commended stakeholders for the process leading to the selection of its candidates for various positions, describing it as successful and orderly.
“It shows that we are very much united. Going by what we have seen, success is assured,” Kwankwaso said.
The exercise was witnessed by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies, party stakeholders, the media and others. (NAN)
