In a major political development in Kano State, AbdulAziz Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, son of former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has obtained a nomination form to contest for the House of Representatives seat representing Dawakin Tofa/Tofa/Rimin Gado Federal Constituency.
The move is already generating reactions within Kano’s political landscape, especially as AbdulAziz is reportedly now aligned with Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso following his departure from his family’s political camp.
A viral clip circulating online showed AbdulAziz explaining his political mission to Kwankwaso, further fueling speculations about his growing ties with the opposition political movement in Kano.

Political observers describe the development as a dramatic twist ahead of the 2027 general elections, as AbdulAziz is expected to face the candidate of the APC in what is already being projected as one of the most competitive House of Representatives contests in Kano State.
The emergence of AbdulAziz under the platform of the Nigeria Democratic Congress is also seen as another boost for the party’s growing influence in Kano following Kwankwaso’s recent defection from the African Democratic Congress.
The Dawakin Tofa/Tofa/Rimin Gado federal constituency is regarded as politically strategic in Kano, with both the APC and NDC expected to deploy strong grassroots mobilization ahead of the elections.
