Former Deputy Governor of Kano State, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has emerged as the governorship candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), marking a significant milestone in the party’s preparations for the forthcoming elections.
The announcement was made on Friday by Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu, spokesperson to the former deputy governor, who disclosed that Gwarzo will be formally affirmed alongside other NDC candidates during the party’s scheduled affirmation ceremony today (Friday).
According to the spokesperson, the event will also feature the affirmation of the party’s candidates for the State House of Assembly, National Assembly, governorship, and presidential elections.
Gwarzo brings to the contest decades of public service and political experience.
He previously served as Deputy Governor of Kano State and was elected twice as a local government chairman.
He also held commissioner positions in four different ministries in Kano State, where he contributed to policy formulation and implementation across key sectors.
In addition, Gwarzo served as a member of the National Assembly Service Commission and as Chairman of the Governing Board of the Federal College of Education, Kontagora.
His extensive record in public administration and grassroots leadership has earned him recognition as one of Kano’s most experienced political figures.
His emergence as the NDC governorship candidate is expected to bolster the party’s campaign efforts and strengthen its position ahead of the elections.
