The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has chosen Abba Kabir Yusuf and Aminu Abdussalam as its concensus governorship candidate and deputy respectively for Kano gubernatorial election in 2023.
Former Kano State Governor and Senator representing Kano Central, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, was also selected to contest his current seat on the platform of the NNPP.
A former executive Secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), Dr Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, and erstwhile Special Adviser to President Buhari on National Assembly, Abdurrahman Sumaila, have emerged as senatorial candidates for Kano South and North respectively.
It would be recalled that in 2019, Messrs Yusuf and Abdulsalam contested for governorship seat on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but were defeated by the incumbent governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.

All the candidates emerged through consensus arrangements agreed to by all the aspirants and endorsed by the national leader of the party, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The Star reliably gathered that Sen. Shekarau demanded that two senatorial seats, deputy governor, 10 House of Representatives seats, 20 House of Assembly members, 5 commissioners from the APC during their failed negotiations.
The APC, The Star confirmed, provided only 2 House of Representatives, 5 members of State House of Assembly, and unspecified number of commissioners, which Shekarau rejected.
