2027: NDC affirms Sule-Garo as Kano North senatorial candidate
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has affirmed Nasiru Sule-Garo as its senatorial candidate for Kano North senatorial district in the 2027 general elections.
The affirmation followed the party’s decision to substitute Sunusi Danbatta as its substantive candidate for the senatorial election.
Usaini Mai-Riga, the chairman of the party in Kano State, disclosed this at a ceremony held at the party’s senatorial office on Sunday in Bichi.
He said the decision followed extensive consultations and consideration of Mr Sule-Garo’s experience as a former member of the National Assembly.
Mr Mai-Riga, who was represented by the party’s zonal vice chairman, Alhaji Bello Yandadi, said the affirmation marked the conclusion of the party’s internal process for selecting its candidate ahead of the 2027 elections.
In his remarks, Mr Danbatta described his withdrawal as voluntary and pledged his full support and cooperation to the candidate.
He promised to work for the success of NDC candidates in the 2027 general elections.
Accepting the nomination, Mr Sule-Garo pledged to carry all party members along and provide effective representation if elected.
He appealed to voters across the district to support his candidacy and the party’s political agenda.
Mr Sule-Garo was a three-time member of the House of Representatives representing Gwarzo/Kabo Federal Constituency.
The state organising secretary of the party, Alhaji Sunusi Kwankwaso, said Mr Sule-Garo’s candidacy would strengthen the NDC’s preparations for the 2027 election in Kano North.
Mr Kwankwaso said the party’s campaign would focus on issues affecting constituents, including economic empowerment, agricultural development, education, healthcare, infrastructure and improved representation.
