Former Kano State Governor and 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress, ADC. The development comes a day after he announced his resignation from the NNPP, citing the need for political realignment. 

Kwankwaso formally registered with the ADC and received his membership card on Monday at Gidan Kwankwasiyya, Miller Road, Bompai, Kano. The event drew a crowd of supporters, mainly from the Kwankwasiyya Movement, alongside senior figures in the opposition coalition. 

Among those present were ADC National Chairman and former Senate President David Mark, ADC National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola, former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, Senator Dino Melaye, former APC National Chairman John Odigie-Oyegun, and former Imo State Governor Emeka Ihedioha

Kwankwaso had earlier said his exit from the NNPP was a difficult decision, but argued that the current political situation in the country made it necessary for him to align with another platform that, in his view, offers a better opportunity to bring change. His latest move is expected to further reshape opposition politics ahead of the 2027 general elections.
