ADC Accuses Kwankwaso of Supporting Tinubu's Agenda

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council has accused Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano State, of advancing President Bola Tinubu's political interests. This allegation arose after Kwankwaso called on former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar to step down for Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Kola Ologbondiyan, the ADC-PCC Director of Media and Publicity, described Kwankwaso's actions as self-serving and detrimental to opposition unity. He questioned why Kwankwaso was targeting opposition leaders instead of challenging the Tinubu administration, which is facing public discontent due to economic hardship.

Ologbondiyan suggested that Kwankwaso's motivations were tied to his ambitions for the 2031 presidential election. He dismissed the notion that Kwankwaso's support was crucial for winning Kano State, citing past elections where candidates succeeded without his backing.

The ADC-PCC characterized Kwankwaso's actions as part of a strategy to create division within the opposition.
