Kano APC Denies Kwankwaso's Claims on Gwarzo's Candidacy
The Kano State All Progressives Congress (APC) has refuted allegations made by Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) vice-presidential candidate, that the APC and its governorship candidate, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, are attempting to disqualify the NDC's governorship candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections. The APC described these allegations as false and baseless, asserting that neither the party nor Governor Yusuf had any role in the legal proceedings concerning Gwarzo’s candidacy.
The APC clarified that the case originated from an internal crisis within the NDC, initiated by some of its members against the party itself, not by the APC or the Kano State Government. The party challenged Kwankwaso to provide credible evidence linking them to the court action and emphasized the independence of the judiciary.
The APC reiterated its commitment to democratic principles and urged political actors to refrain from politicizing legal disputes arising from internal party disagreements.
