The immediate past deputy governor of Kano State and governorship candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress for the 2027 election, Aminu Gwarzo.

The Nigeria Democratic Congress governorship candidate in Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo, has condemned the recent attacks by suspected bandits in four local government areas of the state, calling for urgent security measures to protect residents and their livelihoods.

Gwarzo, in a statement issued on Tuesday by his spokesperson, Ibrahim Shuaibu, expressed sympathy with victims of the attacks and their families, particularly residents of Chiromawa in Garun Mallam Local Government Area, Beli in Rogo, Bebeji and communities around Gwarzo.

“These attacks pose a disturbing threat to lives, livelihoods and economic activities. Rural residents must not be forced to abandon their homes, farms and businesses because of the activities of criminal elements,” Gwarzo said.

He said the government must urgently strengthen security operations in vulnerable communities and prevent criminal groups from establishing footholds in rural areas.
