Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo former deputy governor of Kano State
The opposition Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has nominated Aminu Abdulsalam, former deputy governor of Kano State, as its flagbearer for the 2027 governorship election.
Mr Abdulsalam’s nomination followed his resignation as deputy over disagreement with Governor Abba Yusuf over the latter’s defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in January.
Mr Abdussalam resigned in March, just weeks after the state House of Assembly initiated impeachment proceedings against him.
His nomination followed a stakeholders’ meeting of the NDC, chaired by former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso at his residence on Miller Road in Kano.
