Former Kano State Deputy Governor Nasir Gawuna says he is unlikely to return to the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections, despite public speculation about a possible move after some of his allies defect.
Both outlets report that the talk of a return is driven by the actions of Gawuna’s political associates, who are reported to have moved back to the ruling APC. Premium Times and Legit.ng also link the speculation to Gawuna’s prior unsuccessful governorship bid under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his current alignment with the Peoples Democratic Party.
While the articles differ slightly in emphasis, they largely agree on the central point: Gawuna signals continuity with the NDC/Nigeria’s current opposition framework rather than a return to the APC. Neither source presents new evidence of a formal defection by Gawuna himself; instead, the coverage frames his stance as a response to growing rumours following allied defections and ongoing calculations for the 2027 political contest in Kano State.
