It is with profound gratitude that I today announce Mustapha Rabiu Kwankwaso as my running mate for the 2027 gubernatorial election under our great party, the NDC. I wish our party victory in the upcoming 2027 general elections. -AA Gwarzo
STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO RECENT ALLEGATIONS AGAINST OUR INCOMING GOVERNOR OF KANO STATE.
We have taken note of the allegations made by One DG Media and Spokesperson to the Governor of Kano State alleging that His Excellency, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, receives funds from Local Governments through his son, Mujahid Aminu Abdussalam.
These allegations are serious, and as such, those making them have a responsibility to provide credible evidence to support their claims. Mere accusations, repeated in the media, do not amount to proof.
The people of Kano will recall previous allegations concerning Novomed, where accusations were widely circulated against Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo. However, it later emerged that the matter in question had received the necessary approval of the governor. That episode demonstrated the danger of rushing to conclusions and weaponizing unverified claims for political purposes.
It is therefore important that public officials exercise restraint and uphold the principles of fairness, transparency, and due process. If there is evidence of wrongdoing, such evidence should be presented before the appropriate authorities. If there is none, then these allegations should be seen for what they are, unsubstantiated claims aimed at distracting the public from substantive issues affecting the people of Kano State.
Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo remains committed to serving the people with integrity, accountability, and dedication. We urge the public to remain focused on facts rather than speculation and political rhetoric.

My attention has been drawn to the reckless, baseless lies peddled by Sanusi Bature falsely accusing Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo of misappropriating public funds. This is not the first time this desperate witch hunt has targeted him.Before his resignation similar fabricated claims were weaponized to smear him due to his stance of not defecting to APC, only to collapse & withdrawn by Kano State House of Assembly for lack of any evidence.
It is damning that the same administration once screamed UNDENIABLE corruption charges against Murtala Sule Garo involving over 80 billions.But the moment Comrade resigned,they shamelessly washed, rinsed and buried the cases to crown Garo Deputy Governor. This naked hypocrisy exposes their fake ACCOUNTABILITY.
If any government thinks it can tarnish the credibility of innocent citizens with unsubstantiated garbage,the current Kano State administration should be the very last qualified to play that dirty card.
$Ganduje was charged to court by Abba Kabir Yusuf.
$Murtala Sule Garo was charged to court by Abba Kabir Yusuf.
$Ganduje's wife was also charged to court by Abba Kabir Yusuf.
But the dullard APC spokesman @SanusiBature is shamelessly making flawd allegations against Comrade AAG,though withdrawn by KNSG due to lack of directions. The hypocrisy is both glaring and embarrassing.
Kaji sha katafi, idan kana zargin mutun da sata, shi wanda kake zargin ne ze kaika kara? Ko kaida kake zargin ne zaka kai kara akamashi? That was how the Novomed allegation, which had the governor’s approval, died down. Se soki burutsu na banza, akaishi kara mana in gaske ake.🤮
I have noted with grave concern the escalating wave of insecurity that has engulfed our beloved nation. Once again, Nigeria is bleeding profusely. From Zamfara, Borno, Sokoto, Katsina, and Kwara to Oyo and several other parts of the country, our citizens can no longer sleep with both eyes closed.
Banditry, kidnapping for ransom, terrorism, communal clashes, and armed robbery have tragically become daily occurrences. What is most alarming is the audacity of these criminals, who now brazenly hold live sessions on social media to taunt the authorities and terrorise the public.
This is totally unacceptable and not befitting of a sovereign nation like ours.
As someone who has served this country at various levels, including as Governor of Kano State and Minister of Defence, where we confronted and significantly reduced security challenges through decisive leadership and community engagement, I remain convinced that insecurity is not insurmountable. What we lack today is not resources, but the requisite political will and sincerity to confront this menace head-on.
The current approach has clearly failed. Despite massive budgetary allocations to the security sector, the situation continues to deteriorate rapidly. Innocent lives are being lost daily, families are displaced in their thousands, and our economy is suffocating under the heavy weight of fear and instability.
We cannot continue on this dangerous path. Nigeria’s security architecture requires an urgent and comprehensive overhaul.
Additionally, to safeguard our socioeconomic wellbeing, the government must prioritise the provision of quality education, modern infrastructure, accessible healthcare, reliable electricity supply, and essential agricultural inputs. This approach will strengthen local food production and reduce over-reliance on imports for food security.
We must immediately prioritise the welfare and motivation of our gallant security personnel, strengthen intelligence gathering, enhance community policing, and, most crucially, tackle the root causes of this crisis; poverty, mass unemployment, and poor governance through massive investment in quality education, skills acquisition, and job creation for our teeming youth. - RMK
Experienced, resilient, eloquent, and a man of integrity, Comrade AAG is both Islamically and conventionally educated , a leader truly fit for the seat.
Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo is the answer for Kano 2027.
Kwankwaso, someone with decades-long experience and a cult-following, sat down with his people and decide on various candidates to fly his party’s flags in Kano; yet someone on Twitter who doesn’t know anything about politics will come gun-blazing, faulting him and his decisions.
Former Governor of Kano State Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has announced Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo as the consensus candidate for the NDC governorship in Kano for the 2027 elections, while Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna is the candidate for the Kano Central Senatorial ticket.
I don’t even want to say this, but the people that are saying Comrade is weak are either ignorant of Kano politics or don’t know its political history.
His political profile may be quite lesser than Gawuna’s (due to the obvious) but he will give AKY the fiercest opposition.
Who ever emerges as the NDC gubernatorial candidate in Kano will have my support.
But my preferred candidate is Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo.
Allah ya jishe mu Alkhairi, Ameen.
