Gwarzo Faces EFCC Petition Amid Re-Election Controversy

Abdullahi Muazu Gwarzo, the current representative for Gwarzo/Kabo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, is embroiled in controversy regarding his re-election bid. A petition has been filed against him with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), alleging conspiracy, financial crime, breach of trust, misappropriation, and forgery.

This petition, submitted on May 11, 2026, urges the EFCC to disclose the current status of its investigation into Gwarzo's case. Stakeholders in the constituency are reportedly aware of the ongoing EFCC investigation.

Additionally, the petition calls for Gwarzo's disqualification from the upcoming primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing unresolved allegations from the 2021 elections. Gwarzo is seeking re-election under the APC, but the controversy surrounding these allegations raises questions about his candidacy.
