NDC Addresses Aminu Abdussalam-Gwarzo's INEC Omission

The Kano State chapter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) addressed the absence of its governorship candidate, Aminu Abdussalam-Gwarzo, from the final list released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Yusif Fasaha, the NDC’s Public Relations Officer in Kano State, stated that the omission resulted from a computer glitch at INEC, not from any failure by the party to complete nomination processes.

Fasaha urged party members to remain calm, assuring them that INEC had confirmed the error and would rectify it. He expressed confidence that a corrected list including Abdussalam-Gwarzo's name would be published shortly.

Fasaha emphasized that Abdussalam-Gwarzo had met all requirements for the governorship election and that the party had adhered to the necessary processes within the stipulated timeframe. The final list from INEC included 17 governorship candidates from various parties, including Governor Abba Yusuf of the All Progressives Congress and his running mate, Murtala Sule-Garo.
