Kano NDC Governorship Candidate Names Kwankwaso’s Son, Mustapha As Deputy by InfoGuru118(op): 4:48pm On Jun 15

The governorship candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kano State, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has picked Mustapha Rabiu Kwankwaso, the biological son of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, as his running mate.

The young Kwankwaso is the immediate past Commissioner for Youths and Sports.

Spokesperson of Kwankwasiyya, Habibu Saleh Mohammed, confirmed the development in a terse statement on Monday.

“HE Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo unveiled Hon Mustapha Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as running mate for 2027 Governorship Election,” he said.

The younger Kwankwaso had resigned from Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s administration after the governor parted ways with his father

While quitting government, Mustapha had said the decision was taken “with a heavy heart”, while expressing gratitude to Yusuf for the opportunity to serve the people of Kano State.

He highlighted the experiences and lessons gained during his tenure, thanking the governor for the trust reposed in him.

“As I resign, I pray that the youth of Kano State will continue to receive the attention and support they deserve,” Mustapha said.

“I hope for the best for our sports development programs and initiatives, and I am confident that they will flourish in the years to come.”

Mind you
The present governor is his son in law

The present first lady is his daughter too

People especially followers of one Agulu messiah will turn blind eyes to clanishness going on in kano but be shouting about Tinubu in Lagos

Nepotism dey cry.
But una wan please am.

Make una dey celebrate rubbish politicians, all of them have taken Nigeria as their personal monarchy where they keep installing their children to rule you.

Nigeria will only get better when we demand for it. For now, people who only have one vote, but have brainwashed you to think they can sway you by temporarily saving you from the bondage they have placed you and this have more weight than you will continue to oppress you.

Nollywood actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo has withdrawn his support for the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, citing the continued marginalisation of the South-East geopolitical zone.

Okonkwo’s decision followed the official announcement by the ADC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, confirming former Rivers State Governor and former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, from the South-South, as Atiku’s vice-presidential running mate for the 2027 general election.

Oh dear, but we were told NDC was a holier-than-thou party that would usher in a new Nigeria.

So this is their version of a new Nigeria.

Mr Obi's supporters will see nothing wrong in this.

But imagine if Mr Tinubu's son is named as deputy Governor candidate of Lagos State. Mr Obi would lecture us about 'State capture', and his followers would go into a morbid mental combustion crying to the United Nations, FIFA, UNESCO etc

Let’s see whether Obidients will wail and condemn this as turning political office into a family affair, as they usually do when it involves other politicians or parties they don’t like

Normal feudal moves of an autocracy.
And all others that were there before him should retire like senior military personnel when their junior is made to head because of his tribal alignment.

The simple reason why leaders cannot gain the real support of the citizens, the genuine solidarity amongst the polity, amongst supposed colleagues.

They say leadership is all about sacrifice. Not here.
They cannot make the sacrifice of self, ignore the crass privileges of office. No. They have WORKED for success so they must take it all. For them, their families and friends. Whatever crumbs are left can be shared by the faithful peons.
