The Kwankwasiyya Movement has dismissed reports of the exclusion of of its members as candidates for the 2027 election by the Kano State chapter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.
Spokesperson for the group, Habibu Mohammed, made this rebuttal on Tuesday in an interview on Trust TV.
Mohammed said no candidates, including those from the Kwankwasiyya Movement and other groups, complained of exclusion.
“When there is contestation, naturally there are going to be a lot of issues with certain people that might not actually find their ways, but I believe that a process was built where consensus candidate emerged across the state, and within that particular process, there were never a candidate from anywhere that have complained of any kind of exclusion.
“All candidates, including those from the Kwankwasiyya Movement, and those who recently come from other political parties, partook into that process.
“We are seeing how other candidates that recently joined the party were part of the consensus, and the real aim is to actually ensure that candidates that have the capacity to win election, bring in votes and help the party develop are the ones that have emerged through that particular process.
“Until the end of the process, there were never any complaint from anybody, and to us, we believe that we have complied both with the party guidelines and at the same time with that of the INEC,” he said.
