The leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kano State has reaffirmed its support for Malam Ibrahim Khalil as the party’s legitimate governorship candidate for the 2027 elections. The party has also dismissed attempts by external forces to disrupt the outcome of the party’s gubernatorial primary election.
Speaking at a press conference in Kano, Alhaji Sulaiman Muhammad Mabo, a senior party official, emphasized that the ADC in Kano stands firm behind Ibrahim Khalil’s candidacy. He warned against any attempts to undermine the party’s internal processes and vowed to protect the outcome of the primary election.
Mabo alleged that some national party officials were interfering in the Kano State chapter’s affairs, describing it as unacceptable. He urged the national leadership to respect the party’s internal democracy and allow the Kano chapter to choose its candidates freely.
The ADC’s reaffirmation of support for Khalil comes amid reports of divisions within the party. Some members have expressed concerns about the primary election process, alleging irregularities and favoritism .
However, Mabo dismissed these claims, stating that the primary election was conducted fairly and transparently. He urged party members to unite behind Khalil’s candidacy and work towards winning the 2027 governorship election .
The ADC’s governorship primary election in Kano State was held earlier this year, with Ibrahim Khalil emerging as the winner. The party’s national leadership is expected to ratify the outcome of the primary election soon.

The party’s reaffirmation of support for Khalil sends a strong message to external forces seeking to disrupt the party’s internal processes. The ADC in Kano State appears determined to protect its internal democracy and choose its candidates freely.
