Kwankwaso to Officially Join ADC on March 30, 2026

On Saturday, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the former governor of Kano State, met with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in Abuja. This meeting is a significant political maneuver ahead of the 2027 elections, as it was reported that Kwankwaso plans to officially defect from his current political platform to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Sources familiar with the developments indicated that the discussions were closed-door and details were not disclosed. The Kwankwasiyya movement confirmed that Kwankwaso has concluded plans to leave his current political party, with an announcement stating that he is expected to formally register with the ADC on Monday, March 30, 2026.

This strategic move is seen as an effort to reshape political alignments, particularly in northern Nigeria. Kwankwaso, a former presidential candidate, has a strong grassroots following, and his decision to join the ADC is anticipated to enhance the party's visibility and influence nationwide.
