In a dramatic political shift, former Kano State Governor Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has officially defected from the NNPP to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The move was confirmed on Sunday, with Kwankwaso set to formally register with the party on Monday, March 30.
The defection is expected to shake Nigeria’s political landscape, coming just months before the 2027 general elections, and raises questions about party loyalties and strategic alliances in the northern region. Analysts suggest that Kwankwaso’s move could significantly boost ADC’s profile ahead of the polls.
Kwankwaso, a former governor and influential political figure in Kano, has been a central figure in the Kwankwasiyya Movement, and his departure from NNPP is likely to intensify competition in key constituencies.
Political observers are now watching closely to see how this realignment will impact APC and PDP strategies in the upcoming elections.
