“Our process involved congresses, affirmations and nominations, all of which were valid and accepted,” he said.

Dungurawa praised Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for his hands-on involvement, noting that Kwankwaso spent nearly a week in Kano to oversee the candidates’ selection.

He highlighted the party’s commitment to gender inclusivity, noting that Sa’adatu’s nomination reflects their confidence in women’s leadership.

“Women have proven themselves capable, and this nomination is a testament to that belief. We are optimistic about our prospects and expect a successful outcome across all positions,” he said.
