Former Gov. Kwankwaso Supporters to Quit ADC Ahead of Defection to NDC
Former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has reportedly asked his supporters to resign from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of his planned defection to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) next week.
This directive emerged after a key Kwankwasiyya Movement figure in Dala Local Government Area of Kano State, Kabiru Adamu Abdullahi, announced his resignation from the ADC.
Abdullahi cited directives from the Movement’s leadership.
In a letter dated May 1, 2026, addressed to his ward chairman, Abdullahi said he was leaving the party with immediate effect.
“I sincerely appreciate the opportunity given to me to be part of the party and wish you and the party the very best,” he said.
In a separate statement shared on social media, Abdullahi linked his decision to Kwankwaso’s directive to his supporters.
According to Daily Trust, a Kwankwasiyya leader, Shehu Wada Sagagi, said the decision to move to the NDC was taken after careful consideration of the risks facing the ADC.
“In his wisdom, our leader and the Movement agreed that going to the NDC is the best option because there are more dangerous legal threats against the ADC. We must look for a way out,” he said.
Kwankwaso is expected to join the NDC with Peter Obi. Obi is also expected to announce his defection soon, amid speculations that both men would be on the same presidential ballot.
