NDC's Gwarzo Omitted from INEC's Kano Gubernatorial List

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) released a list of 17 governorship candidates for the upcoming election in Kano, signed by INEC Secretary Rose Oriaran-Anthony. Notably, the list does not include Gwarzo, the alleged governorship candidate from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), nor any other candidate from the NDC.

The document features candidates from several political parties, including Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Abacha Muhammed Sani of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), among others from parties such as the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Labour Party (LP), and Social Democratic Party (SDP). The absence of Gwarzo raises questions regarding the NDC's participation in the Kano governorship election, as INEC has not provided an explanation for this omission, leaving the reasons, whether related to the party's nomination process or documentation, unclear.
