The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has attributed the omission of its Kano State governorship candidate, Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, and his running mate, Mustapha Rabi’u Kwankwaso, from the list of candidates published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to an alleged error.

INEC released the list of candidates for various positions on Saturday, but the names of the NDC governorship candidates were missing from the Kano State section.

The Secretary of the Kwankwasiyya Caucus and NDC House of Representatives candidate in Kano, Dr Yusuf Ibrahim Kofarmata, disclosed this in a statement, saying the party had received assurances that the omission resulted from an error in entering the candidates’ details.

Kofarmata said INEC was working to correct the issue and expressed confidence that the names would be included in the list.

He maintained that Gwarzo completed his registration within the period stipulated by the commission and that the party submitted the candidate’s details through INEC’s online portal.

The NDC chieftain urged party supporters to remain calm and continue their political activities while the commission works to resolve the matter.
