The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has attributed the omission of its Kano State governorship candidate, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, and his running mate, Mustapha Rabi'u Kwankwaso, from the list of candidates published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to an error. INEC released the list on Saturday, but the NDC candidates were missing from the Kano State section. Dr Yusuf Ibrahim Kofarmata, Secretary of the Kwankwasiyya Caucus and the NDC House of Representatives candidate in Kano, stated that the party had received assurances that the omission resulted from an error in entering the candidates' details. He added that INEC is working to correct the problem and expressed confidence that the names would be included, noting that Gwarzo completed his registration within the period set by INEC.
