The Kwankwasiyya Movement has commended former senator, Rufa’i Hanga, and former Governor of Kano State, Kabiru Gaya, for demonstrating what it described as exemplary loyalty and sacrifice by accepting the outcome of the movement’s consensus arrangement of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The movement, in a statement issued on Saturday by its spokesperson, Habibu Mohammed, said the decision by the two political leaders to step aside in support of consensus candidates, reflect the discipline and unity that have continued to define the Kwankwasiyya political family.
According to the statement, Hanga showed remarkable statesmanship by supporting the emergence of former Kano State Deputy Governor, Nasiru Gawuna, as the consensus candidate for Kano Central Senatorial District.
The movement also lauded Gaya for accepting the nomination of former President of the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners, Nasir Batayya, as its candidate for Kano South Senatorial District.
“Their sacrifices and commitment to collective interest represent the highest ideals of political maturity, loyalty and discipline,” the statement said.
