In a bid to replace Ibrahim Ali Amin, also known as Little, as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate for the 2027 Kano State governorship elections, a prominent Kano cleric, Sheikh Ibrahim Khalil, has taken the case to the Federal High Court. Khalil, who serves as the chairman of the Kano State Council of Ulama, has requested the court to compel the ADC to remove Amin's name from the list and substitute it with his own.
The ADC had initially declared Khalil as the winner of the party's primary elections. However, following the dissolution of the state executives of the party, the ADC instead submitted the name of Ibrahim Ali Little, a close political associate of Atiku Abubakar, the ADC presidential candidate.
Sheikh Khalil's legal counsel, AA Abubakar, informed the court that all defendants in the case have been duly served with the court proceedings. Similarly, Amin Little's legal team confirmed that they too were served with the court documents.
