Abdulaziz Ganduje, the eldest son of former All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, has made a significant political move by returning to the APC after a brief three-month membership with the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). His rejoining was marked by a formal reception at the Ganduje Ward office in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area on Sunday, where he was presented with his membership card.

Abdulaziz had initially joined the NDC and even acquired a nomination form to contest for the Dawakin Tofa/Tofa/Rimin Gado Federal Constituency seat. His shift to the NDC was widely interpreted as an attempt to align with the Kwankwasiyya movement, led by former governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, who has been a longstanding political rival of his father. This move was seen as a potential boost for the Kwankwasiyya faction in the ongoing political landscape of Kano State.

However, Abdulaziz's return to the APC comes after the deadline for obtaining nomination forms had passed, raising questions about his political strategy moving forward. The rivalry between Kwankwaso's Kwankwasiyya movement and Ganduje's APC has been a defining feature of Kano politics, and Abdulaziz's actions have been closely watched by political analysts and party members alike.

The dynamics within Kano's political scene remain complex, with allegiances shifting and the influence of family legacies playing a crucial role. As the 2027 elections approach, how Abdulaziz's return to the APC will affect the party's standing and the ongoing rivalry remains to be seen. His decision may also reflect broader trends within the APC as it seeks to consolidate its position in the face of challenges from opposition parties like the NDC.
