Former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, will formally join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Monday at his residence in Gidan Kwankwasiyya, Miller Road in Kano State.
The news of Kwankwaso’s future defection was announced in a statement issued by the Kwankwasiyya Movement, signed by the movement’s spokesperson, Habibu Sale Mohammed.
Mohammed explained that Kwankwaso’s defection, along with that of members of the movement, stems from their commitment to advancing democratic values and good governance.
“We have always been committed to the betterment of our state and the nation at large. This strategic decision is aimed at strengthening democratic principles and promoting inclusive leadership that genuinely reflects the will and aspirations of the people,” he said.
“Democracy must be protected, and the will of the people must always be respected,” he noted. “This decision is in line with our unwavering commitment to democratic values and good governance.”
The Kwankwasiyya Movement has urged its members to immediately join the ADC at the ward, local government area, and state levels across Nigeria.
The movement’s spokesperson further called on the members to actively participate in all party activities and contribute to the ADC’s growth, development, and success across all levels of government.
The ADC, a coalition of some of Nigeria’s top politicians planning to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, positions itself as a credible alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Kwankwaso’s defection to the ADC, along with his supporters from the Kwankwasiyya Movement, may shape the trajectory of Nigeria’s political landscape in the coming months.
