2027:ATM Gwarzo Denies Agreement, Understanding With Opposition Figure, Political Platform
By Abdullahi Yusuf
A former aspirant for the Kano North Senatorial District on the platform of the All Progressives Congress(APC),Abdullahi Tijjani Mohammed Gwarzo,has denied allegations of entering into an agreement, understanding or negotiations with an opposition figure or a political platform regarding the 2027 Kano North Senatorial election.
The denial is contained in a statement signed by Mansur Umar Man’ash,his
S.A Digital Media.
“Our attention has been drawn to a mischievous and entirely fabricated article authored by one Zulyadaini Sidi Mustapha, containing a series of unfounded allegations and speculative claims regarding the political future of His Excellency, Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo, FTRAN.
“Ordinarily, such baseless publications would not merit a response. However, in view of the need to prevent the unsuspecting public from being misled, it has become necessary to set the record straight.
“We wish to categorically state that the claims suggesting the existence of any agreement, understanding, or ongoing negotiations between His Excellency Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo and any opposition figure or political platform regarding the 2027 Kano North Senatorial election are completely false, malicious, and exist only in the imagination of the author and his sponsors.
“At no time has His Excellency engaged in discussions aimed at contesting any election under the platform of any opposition party. Equally false are the insinuations that certain elected officials within the All Progressives Congress (APC) are secretly collaborating with opposition elements to undermine the fortunes of distinguished party leaders in Kano State.
“The author provides no evidence whatsoever for his sensational claims because none exists. What is presented as “verified information” is nothing more than conjecture, political fiction, and deliberate misinformation designed to create unnecessary tension within the ranks of our great party.
“For the avoidance of doubt, His Excellency Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo, FTRAN, remains a loyal, committed, and steadfast member of the All Progressives Congress (APC). His loyalty to the party and its leadership remains unquestionable and has been demonstrated consistently through his actions, sacrifices, and public positions over the years.
“Furthermore, His Excellency has repeatedly affirmed his support for the leadership and success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He also remains fully supportive of the efforts of His Excellency, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, towards peace, development, and unity in Kano State.
“Similarly, His Excellency maintains cordial and respectful relationships with Senator Barau I. Jibrin, Deputy President of the Senate, Hon. Abdullahi Mu’azu Gwarzo, Hon. Kabiru Getso Haruna, and other critical stakeholders in his primary constituency whose contributions continue to shape the political and developmental landscape of Kano North and Kano State at large.
“It is pertinent to recall that following extensive consultations with associates, supporters, and critical stakeholders at various levels, His Excellency publicly declared his decision to step down his Kano North Senatorial aspiration in the overall interest of party cohesion, unity, and electoral success. That position remains unchanged,”Man’ash said.
He, therefore, urged APC members, supporters, and the general public to “disregard the false narrative being circulated by purveyors of misinformation whose objective is to sow seeds of discord where none exist.”
“As the 2027 electoral cycle gradually approaches, Nigerians should expect an increase in politically motivated rumours, falsehoods, and speculative commentaries. We urge the public to rely only on official statements and verified communication from His Excellency and his authorized representatives.
“His Excellency Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo remains committed to the unity, stability, and success of the APC in Kano State and Nigeria as a whole, and will continue to contribute his quota towards strengthening the party and supporting initiatives that promote peace, development, and good governance,” statement added.
