Kwankwaso under fire over son’s pick as Kano NDC governorship running mate

Controversy has erupted over the nomination of Mustapha Kwankwaso as the governorship running mate for his father, former Nigerian Minister of Interior, Alhaji Abubakar Kwankwaso, in the Kano state governorship race. Mustapha, who recently resigned from his position as Kano State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, is the son of the aspiring governor. Critics argue that the choice is nepotism, raising questions about the fairness and transparency of the party's internal processes. This situation underscores broader debates about political family dynasties and their impact on democratic governance in Nigeria.
