Nigeria: Kano 2027 - NDC Accuses APC Over Omission of Governorship Candidate As Court Sets Date for Hearing
Rabiu Kwankwaso, the NDC vice-presidential candidate, is pointing fingers directly at the ruling APC, alleging the party engineered the removal of Mr. Abdussalam's name from the final candidates list published on the Independent National Electoral Commission's portal.
The accusation puts the APC at the center of what the NDC is framing as a deliberate act of electoral interference ahead of the 2027 Kano governorship race. With Abdussalam's name conspicuously absent from the INEC portal, the NDC is not letting the matter rest quietly.
A court has now set a date to hear the case, meaning the dispute is moving beyond political statements and into the legal arena. How the judiciary handles this will be one to watch closely as Kano's 2027 political season heats up.
