Kano Chairman Mairiga Awaits INEC's Confirmation for Gwarzo
Husseini Mairiga, the Kano State Chairman, expressed optimism about reports indicating that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has cleared Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo as the governorship candidate for the 2027 election. Mairiga stated that the party is awaiting an official confirmation from INEC, which he described as encouraging news.
He mentioned that INEC officials advised him to wait for their official press release, expected the following day. Mairiga expressed gratitude to God and the people of Kano for their support and indicated that the party would resume campaign activities upon receiving official clearance for Gwarzo.
This development follows the party's previous complaints regarding Gwarzo's omission from INEC's list of candidates for the upcoming election. Mairiga had previously indicated that the party would consider legal action if the issue was not resolved after the October 24 deadline for complaints regarding candidate exclusions.
