While the group picked its candidate ahead of APC’s congress which is expected to hold next year, its spokesman however said they are not against the current party chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, who they said has done well over the years.

Kwaru said they settled for Gwarzo because the APC in Kano needs a steadfast and skilled loyalist with capacity to mobilise support for the party.

He added that their candidate won the 2022 Man Of Integrity Award by Gani Fawehimi Foundation, Lagos.

“The Party in Kano needs a steadfast party loyalist to steer its ship to shore, much like a skilled captain navigating treacherous waters.

“This individual must possess exceptional leadership qualities to mobilize support, harness the energy of the people and foster solid loyalty while forging lasting alliances.

“In the light of our party’s mission to promote unity, progress and democratic values, the Patriotic Volunteers after due consultations with members of the Party strongly endorse a seasoned Politician in the person of Hon. Ibrahim Dan’azumi Gwarzo for the party’s chairmanship in Kano” he stated.

The spokesman further called for the need to strengthen the party foundation and uphold Democratic ideals to forge a brighter future for Kano state.
