Dr. Nasiru Gawuna, former APC candidate, is in advanced talks to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and secure its 2027 governorship ticket.
The 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Kano State, Dr Nasiru Gawuna, is set to dump the Nigeria Democratic Congress for the African Democratic Congress following ongoing negotiations between both parties.
Findings by our correspondent revealed that discussions between Gawuna’s camp and the ADC leadership in Kano had reached an advanced stage, with both sides expected to hold a final meeting on Monday to conclude the arrangement.
The Kano State chairman of the ADC, Musa Ungogo, confirmed the development in an exclusive interview with The PUNCH on Monday, saying Gawuna initiated the talks through emissaries who met with the party leadership over the weekend.
Ungogo dismissed claims circulating on social media that the ADC was courting the former deputy governor, insisting that the move came from Gawuna and his associates.
The story being circulated that the ADC approached Gawuna is not correct. It was Gawuna who approached us. He sent a delegation to meet us, and discussions have been ongoing since then,” he said.
According to the ADC chairman, Gawuna’s delegation included a former Chairman of Kumbotso Local Government Area, Alhaji Sagir Fanshekara, and Hon Kadawa.
He said the delegation met with him and the party’s state secretary on Saturday as part of efforts to negotiate the terms of Gawuna’s entry into the party.
