Former Kano State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) chairman, Comrade Abbas Ibrahim, has been announced as the Deputy Governorship candidate of the Labour Party for the upcoming February 2027 election.

The former NUJ chairman expressed his gratitude and humility in a resignation letter, stating that he had decided to resign from his NUJ position to fully dedicate himself to the new role and actively participate in the political process. Ibrahim's decision was made with the support of the Labour Union in Kano State, following a call to become more directly involved in politics.
Ibrahim, who previously worked as a crime reporter for Radio Kano, covering judiciary and crime stories, had also served as a Lagos correspondent for New Express between 2000 and 2002. He has now retired from his role as a journalist.
