The Kwankwasiyya Movement has confirmed that former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, will officially defect to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Monday, March 30.
The announcement was made in a notice released on Saturday night, signaling a significant political development ahead of the evolving dynamics within Nigeria’s party landscape.
Kwankwaso, a former presidential candidate and influential political figure in northern Nigeria, is expected to formalize his move during a scheduled event, details of which are yet to be fully disclosed.
The planned defection has generated reactions across political circles, with analysts suggesting it could reshape alliances and strengthen the ADC’s position ahead of future elections.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement, known for its strong grassroots support base, particularly in Kano and parts of the North, is widely expected to align with Kwankwaso’s move.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso nor the African Democratic Congress had issued additional statements outlining the implications of the defection.
Observers note that the development could have far-reaching consequences for Nigeria’s political configuration as preparations gradually build toward the next electoral cycle.
