Hajiya Hauwwa Wali ,Wife of Kano PDP Gubernatorial candidate

The wife of the Kano PDP gubernatorial candidate, Hajiya Hauwa Sadiq Wali says she will  equip women in the state with knowledge which she describes as a ladder  to any meaningful development.

She stated that, through education, women who form a large part of the society will be led to self-realization thereby exposing them to lots of opportunities and achieving greatly where they couldn’t hitherto.

In an interview last  with journalists in Kano, Hauwa says her husband Sadiq Wali is a beacon of hope who has great plans of returning Kano to the path of human and infrastructural development as well as reviving the integrity of the state and economy.

According to Hausa Wali, her husband’s administration if given the mandate has devised  strategies to develop the state with focus on key sectors such as education, health, commerce and empowerment, which have direct impact on the lives of the people especially  rural dwellers.

There are so many Factors why I believe Sadiq Wali is the best candidate. Aside the fact that he is one of the youngest contestant, if you look at his background you will see that he has lots of exposure which I believe is a plus for anyone who is seeking to be in the position he is vying for”.

“Look at his manifesto, you will realize that Sadiq is trying to fix Kano, he is trying to make Kano the beacon of the north. We all know that we have lost a lot of integrity especially in terms of leadership. I believe he is the kind of person that can restore the state’s integrity in the peoples’ eyes nation-wide”.

He has good intention towards education, health, commerce and so many other aspects of work”

In my position as a woman, what I intend to do if given the opportunity Insha Allah is first of all, how to make women’s live easier towards their health, education and  empowerment. These are the three areas I believe every woman must be given the opportunity to explore in order to better their lives”.

“Due to lack of education, a lot of women don’t even know what their entitlements are not just in the society but even in their marriages. So, I believe education is the first step in the right direction. Whatever you are doing in life, if you are not educated, it hinders your opportunities”, she added.

The kano PDP guber candidate’s wife who spoke with enthusiasm on women’s health said, government must move beyond providing just empty infrastructures in the health sector, but equip them with everything necessary to save lives and leading to decline of mortality rate indices amongst women and infants in the state.

“Any society that fails to provide qualitative healthcare services for its people, especially the women and children who are more vulnerable is a sick society whose dream of achieving greatness is still far from reality”.

“Our administration will accord the women relevance by ensuring that their basic needs are well taken care of and given opportunities to also contribute to the growth of the state”.

Furthermore, Hauwa Sadiq Wali added that their empowerment scheme for the women and youth will be designed in such a way that beneficiaries will not only be given start-up funds, machines or equipment, but first of all empowered with modern knowledge and skills on how to run that particular business in line with what is obtainable at the moment. That way, beneficiaries of such empowerment programs will be able to turn their start-up capital into profits, she said.

Hauwa charges the electorates and the general people of the state to rally round her husband Sadiq Wali in the Saturday, March 18 election for a new era of prosperity, transformation and overall development in Kano.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially welcomed former Kano State Governor and 2023 presidential candidate Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso into its fold, touting his defection as a pivotal move that strengthens a growing coalition for political realignment in Nigeria.

In a statement released for immediate effect, the party described Kwankwaso as a “game-changer,” announcing that he has directed his network of supporters nationwide to join the ADC. According to the party, this call has already triggered a significant uptick in registrations on its online platform over the past 24 hours.

The ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, framed the defection as part of a broader recognition among Nigerians of the need for a credible political alternative. The statement emphasized Kwankwaso’s experience in governance, grassroots influence, and capacity to unify as assets to the party’s ambition to “rebuild Nigeria.”

Notably, the ADC highlighted the presence of several high-profile leaders at the defection event, including the party’s National Chairman, Senator David Mark; National Secretary, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola; and leading presidential aspirants such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Peter Obi, and Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi. Their attendance, the party stated, reflects a united front and growing momentum.

The party characterized the surge in online registrations as evidence that Nigerians are aligning with what it called a “different path forward.” In its appeal to Kwankwaso’s supporters and the broader public, the ADC positioned itself as a vehicle for restoring dignity, opportunity, and public trust in governance.

“Change does not happen by chance,” the statement concluded. “It happens when people come together with purpose.”

The development marks a significant realignment in Nigeria’s opposition political landscape, with the ADC seeking to position itself as a converging point for influential politicians and their followings ahead of future elections.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, has resigned from his position in the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to pursue the governorship of Bauchi State in the 2027 election.

Tuggar submitted his resignation on Monday, in compliance with a presidential directive requiring all political appointees with electoral ambitions to vacate their posts by the March 31, 2026, deadline.

The directive, issued through the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, aligns with Section 88(1) of the Electoral Act, 2026, and the timetable released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). It affects ministers, advisers, and heads of federal agencies intending to contest in the 2027 general elections.

Reports have it that his resignation positions him to seek the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Bauchi State gubernatorial race.

Tuggar’s entry is expected to significantly reshape the state’s political landscape, intensifying an already competitive contest for the APC nomination. His background as a career diplomat and serving minister is seen by political observers as a potential advantage, offering national visibility and extensive political networks.

With less than 24 hours remaining before the deadline, additional resignations from the Federal Executive Council are anticipated as other appointees move to formalize their electoral ambitions.
