Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Kano state governor, is about to formally defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Social gathering (NNPP) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Monday.
The transfer was disclosed by the Kwankwasiyya motion, which mentioned the ceremony would happen in Kano, with Kwankwaso anticipated to be joined by a number of NNPP members.
The deliberate defection follows a current go to by Rauf Aregbesola, the nationwide secretary of the ADC, to Kwankwaso’s Abuja residence.
Kwankwaso confirmed the go to on his X web page, although he didn’t disclose particulars of their discussions.
Hypothesis over Kwankwaso’s doable defection had gained traction on Sunday through the annual Kwankwasiyya Eid competition in Kano, the place supporters repeatedly chanted Peter Obi, the previous Anambra state governor and ex-Labour Social gathering presidential candidate, in his presence.
Monday’s formal registration will mark Kwankwaso’s exit from the NNPP, a celebration he performed a central position in constructing, and his entry into a brand new political chapter forward of the 2027 elections.
