Abdulaziz Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, a son of the immediate past National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Dr. Umar Ganduje, has joined the race for the 11th National Assembly on the platform of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.
Abdulaziz, first son of former Kano state Governor has procured the expression of interest and nomination forms of the NDC to contest for the Dawaki Tofa/Tofa/Rimin Gado Federal Constituency of Kano state ahead of the 2027 polls.
The younger Ganduje has been enjoying a cosy relationship with his father’s arch-political rival and leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso since the two parted political ways in 2019.
In a viral clip, Abdulaziz was shown briefing Kwankwaso on his political moves, after officially procuring the NDC nomination forms.
Although long known to have been having strained relationship with his father since threatening legal action against the Kano state Government over a contract dispute in 2020, Abdulaziz’s political romance with Ganduje’s arch political rival, Kwankwaso has expectedly up-scaled the intrigues, anxiety that have defined Kano political landscape in the wake of the recent alignments a couple of months ago.
Abdulaziz will be squaring up with his father’s nominee on the APC platform in the battle for the Dawaki Tofa/Tofa/Rimin Gado Federal Constituency in the Kano North Senatorial District in 2027 .
