Kwankwaso's NDC Move Costs Him Political Influence
Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential aide, indicated that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is experiencing a decline in political influence in Kano State due to his decision to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). Ahmad's comments were made on X in response to reports of possible political realignments involving members of Kwankwaso’s camp.
He noted that Kwankwaso might regret his move to the NDC, as it appears to be costing him his political standing in Kano. The situation is compounded by the potential defection of Mansur Isa Gawuna, the NDC senatorial candidate and a notable politician in Kano, to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This speculation arose after Gawuna's political camp visited Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, suggesting a shift in allegiance. Additionally, Senator Rufai Sani Hanga resigned from the NDC on August 3, 2026, citing personal commitments, further indicating challenges for the NDC in the region.
