The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano State selects Alhaji Muhammad Sani Abacha, son of former Head of State General Sani Abacha, as its governorship candidate for the 2027 election. The party announcement follows internal party processes in Kano.
According to reports, Sani Abacha emerges as the candidate after the PDP’s previous candidate, Muhammad Bello Dalha, withdraws. The selection is made during an expanded state executive committee meeting, where party leadership takes the decision to replace the earlier nominee.
Both outlets describe the same outcome and key circumstances: the PDP’s Kano decision, Sani Abacha’s identity, and the replacement of Dalha as the immediate trigger. The reports do not provide additional campaign details or views from other political parties.
