The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially handed over its governorship nomination form to Alhaji Ibrahim ElAmin Little, marking a significant step in the party’s preparations for the 2027 general elections in Kano State. The former Kano State governorship candidate under the defunct All Progressives Party (APP), popularly known as Ibrahim Little, received the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Governorship Nomination Form (EC-13B) in a formal presentation. This development was confirmed by Ibrahim Little himself through a post on his verified Facebook account on Monday, where he expressed gratitude for the milestone.
In his statement, Ibrahim Little said, “By the grace of Allah, I have received the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Governorship Nomination Form (EC-13B) from the Acting Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kano State, Dr. Umar Bala Kwalwa.” He also added a prayer for divine blessings, stating, “We pray to Allah to bless this milestone and make it a success.” The handover was conducted by Dr. Umar Bala Kwalwa, who currently serves as the Acting Chairman of the ADC in Kano State, underscoring the party’s commitment to moving forward despite recent internal challenges.
This announcement comes weeks after the ADC dissolved its Kano State Executive Committee and established a caretaker committee to address internal disputes. The party had previously stated that it would only unveil its official governorship candidate once its internal matters were resolved. The decision to nominate Ibrahim Little reflects the party’s strategic move to consolidate support and present a unified front ahead of the 2027 elections.
Ibrahim Little, a well-known political figure in Kano, brings years of political experience to the race. His previous campaign under the APP demonstrated his ability to mobilize support across various communities in the state. With the ADC now officially backing him, the party hopes to leverage his name recognition and grassroots connections to strengthen its electoral prospects.
The 2027 elections are expected to be highly competitive, with multiple parties vying for control in Kano State. The ADC’s decision to name Ibrahim Little as its candidate signals its intent to play a significant role in the political landscape. As the party moves forward with its campaign preparations, attention will now shift to voter mobilization, policy articulation, and building alliances.
This development is likely to influence the broader political dynamics in Kano, as other parties and candidates prepare their strategies in response. Ibrahim Little’s entry into the race under the ADC banner could reshape voter expectations and party alignments in the lead-up to the 2027 polls.
