Gawuna Demands ADC Governorship Ticket as Defection Talks Intensify

Dr Nasiru Gawuna, the 2023 APC governorship candidate in Kano, is eyeing a switch to the African Democratic Congress. Sources say talks have reached an advanced stage and a final meeting is set for Monday to seal the deal. ADC’s Kano State chairman, Musa Ungogo, confirmed that Gawuna initiated negotiations through emissaries over the weekend. He dismissed social media rumours that the party had approached the former deputy governor, stressing that the bid came from Gawuna’s camp. Key demands include granting Gawuna the party’s 2027 governorship ticket and offering assembly and National Assembly slots to his loyalists. His team has also proposed a consensus primary to clear the field in his favour. Ungogo stated that the party has asked for a formal written submission of these requests. He added that consultations are still ongoing and no final agreement has been reached.
