NDC Candidate Gwarzo Names Mustapha Kwankwaso as Running Mate

Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, the NDC’s governorship hopeful in Kano, has selected Mustapha Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as his deputy for the 2027 election. Mustapha, the immediate past Commissioner for Youths and Sports under Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, resigned “with a heavy heart” after the political split between Yusuf and his father, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. A spokesperson for the Kwankwasiyya movement confirmed the choice, underscoring the ticket’s focus on youth engagement and continuity of political legacy in Kano.

How do people feel about Gwarzo choosing Kwankwaso as deputy for 2027 governorship? Could this partnership reshape Kano politics?

It's interesting that Kwankwaso gave up his commissioner role with a "heavy heart" to join Gwarzo. That loyalty shift raises questions.

I'm not convinced this duo will energize voters. Kwankwaso's past performance in youth and sports doesn't guarantee broad support.

Voters should compare Gwarzo's platform to Kabir Yusuf's tenure, especially in youth development, before making any decisions in 2027.
