Abba Gawuna Defects to ADC, Aligns with Kwankwaso
Abba Gawuna, the former flag bearer for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 governorship election, has officially defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This shift comes as he aligns with Rabiu Kwankwaso, a prominent figure in Kano politics and leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement.
Gawuna's departure from the APC is seen as a significant blow to the party, as he was considered a strong pillar. His decision is motivated by a perceived neglect from the APC and a desire to better serve the people of Kano.
Gawuna's move is expected to reshape the political dynamics in Kano as he prepares for the 2027 governorship election, where he will likely face Kabir Yusuf, the current governor and a candidate from the APC. The political landscape is further complicated by Gawuna's strained relationship with Yusuf and the resources that both candidates will mobilize for their campaigns.
