According to report by Vanguard on Monday, March 30, 2026, former Governor of Kano State and 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has officially become a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He formally registered with the party and was issued his membership card on Monday at Gidan Kwankwasiyya, located along Miller Road in Bompai, Kano.
The development marks a significant shift in the political landscape, especially given Kwankwaso’s influence and following in northern Nigeria.
The event attracted several high-profile political leaders from across the country, highlighting its importance.
Among those present were former Senate President David Mark, former Governor of Sokoto State Aminu Tambuwal, former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, former Senator Dino Melaye, and former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun.
Their presence underscores the growing attention and possible realignments within Nigeria’s political space as key figures continue to explore new alliances and platforms ahead of future elections.
Kwankwaso’s move to the ADC is seen by political observers as a strategic decision that could reshape party dynamics, particularly in Kano State and beyond, where he maintains strong grassroots support through the Kwankwasiyya movement.
The event ended with anticipation of further developments, as more details and reactions are expected to emerge in the coming days regarding the implications of his defection.
As political activities continue to unfold, analysts are closely watching how this development will influence party structures, voter alignment, and the broader political equation in Nigeria ahead of upcoming elections. The story is still developing, with more updates expected soon….See More
