Ganduje's Son Joins NDC, Eyes House of Reps Seat

Abdulaziz Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the son of former Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has officially joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and has acquired a nomination form to contest for the House of Representatives seat representing the Dawakin Tofa/Rimin Gado federal constituency. This move follows his reported alignment with Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, a significant figure in Kano politics, which has generated considerable reaction within the political landscape of Kano State.

A viral clip circulating online features Abdulaziz explaining his political mission alongside Kwankwaso, further fueling speculation regarding the emergence of an opposition political movement in the region. Political observers describe this development as a dramatic twist ahead of the 2027 general elections, with Abdulaziz expected to face candidates from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming contest.

His platform within the NDC is seen as a boost to the party's influence in Kano, especially following Kwankwaso's recent defection from the African Democratic Congress.
