Former Kano State governor and presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has officially defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC)
This was as he officially unveiled his ADC membership card to a mammoth crowd of supporters in Kano state on Monday, March 30.
Kwankwaso was formally received into the party on Monday at a well-attended ceremony that drew a massive crowd of supporters, party faithful, and political stakeholders.
The atmosphere was electric as chants and cheers dominated the air across the venue, which depicts the enthusiasm surrounding his move.
At the event, the former governor was presented with his ADC membership card by top party officials, indicating his full integration into the party’s structure.
The moment was met with loud applause from supporters, many of whom waved party flags and expressed optimism about the party’s future prospects.
Speaking shortly after receiving his membership card, Kwankwaso described his decision as one driven by “careful reflection and consultation,” stressing the need for a credible alternative capable of addressing Nigeria’s pressing challenges.
“I have taken this step in the interest of national development and the urgent need to reposition our democracy, the ADC offers a platform for inclusiveness, reform, and people-centered governance,” he said.
The ADC has in recent months intensified efforts to attract high-profile entrants as part of a broader strategy to expand its national footprint and present itself as a formidable alternative in Nigeria’s political space.
