Kano 2027: Gawuna rejects APC overtures despite failed governorship ambition at NDC
Former Kano State deputy governor and 2023 governorship candidate, Nasir Gawuna, is unlikely to return to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), despite widespread speculation triggered by his key political allies defecting back to the ruling party.
Mr Umar added that despite their failure to secure the governorship ticket for Mr Gawuna, they were unable to convince him to rejoin the APC, making his return to the party highly unlikely ahead of the 2027 general elections.
As the APC candidate in the 2023 governorship election, Mr Gawuna polled 890,705 votes, but was defeated by Governor Yusuf, who polled 1,019,602 votes.
