A former media aide to the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, on Tuesday criticized the decision of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, to pick Rabiu Kwankwaso’s son, Mustapha, as the governorship running mate in Kano State.
Ahmad described the decision of fielding Kwankwaso’s son as
governorship running mate as politically unwise.
Posting on X, Ahmad wrote: “It is politically unwise and
strategically miscalculated for the NDC as a party to field a father as its
vice presidential candidate while simultaneously selecting his son as its
deputy governorship candidate in Kano at the same election cycle.”
Mustapha is the son of Rabiu Kwankwaso, who is the NDC’s
presidential running mate in the 2027 election.
The governorship candidate of NDC in Kano State is a former
deputy governor, Aminu Gwarzo.
Gwarzo emerged as the consensus candidate in May after a
stakeholders meeting headed by Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The former deputy governor had resigned from Governor Abba
Yusuf’s administration following a disagreement.
The disagreement led to his defection from the All
Progressives Congress, APC, to the NDC.
