Shortly after the gathering, a post on Gwarzo’s verified Facebook page noted that the participants discussed political developments and affairs in Kano North ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“Today, together with the former Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and the member representing Bichi Federal Constituency, Abba Abubakar Kabir Bichi, we met with the Vice President of Nigeria, His Excellency Kashim Shettima,” the post read.

The entry indicated that the conversation focused on politics in Kano North and broader party matters.
