The Kwankwasiyya movement says Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the former Kano state governor, will formally defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Monday.
The ceremony is scheduled to hold in Kano, with Kwankwaso
expected to be accompanied by other members of the NNPP ahead of the 2027
general election.
The announcement comes days after Rauf Aregbesola, national
secretary of the ADC and former governor of Osun state, visited Kwankwaso at
his Abuja residence.
Kwankwaso confirmed the visit on his X page, though he did
not disclose details of their discussions.
Speculation over Kwankwaso’s possible defection had gained
traction on Sunday during the annual Kwankwasiyya Eid festival in Kano, where
supporters repeatedly chanted Peter Obi, the former Anambra state governor and
ex-Labour Party presidential candidate, in his presence.
Both men acknowledged the applause and delivered brief
speeches at the Eid celebrations.
Monday’s formal registration will mark Kwankwaso’s exit from
the NNPP, a party he played a central role in building, and his entry into a
new political chapter ahead of the 2027 elections.
