Ganduje’s Son Returns to APC Ahead of 2027 Elections
Alhaji Abdulaziz Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the eldest son of former Kano Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after previously joining the New Nigeria Democratic Party (NDC). He announced his return on Sunday in Ganduje, Kano, several months after declaring his intention to contest for the Dawakin Tofa/Tofa/Rimin Gado Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives under the NDC.
His return marks a significant political shift, particularly after he was unable to secure the NDC ticket for the upcoming 2027 elections. The NDC is associated with Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, a political rival of his father.
Abdulaziz's return to the APC is noteworthy given his father's longstanding ties to the party, where Abdullahi Ganduje has served as National Chairman. This move is expected to spark renewed political discussions in Kano as parties prepare for the 2027 elections, with the Dawakin Tofa/Tofa/Rimin Gado Federal Constituency anticipated to experience intense competition.
