The Digest:
The Kwankwasiyya Movement has directed its members to join the African Democratic Congress, as its leader Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso has concluded plans to join the coalition seeking to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027. In a statement on Saturday, the movement announced that Kwankwaso will officially register with the ADC on Monday, March 30, at his residence in Kano. All members of the movement have been directed to register with the ADC in their respective wards, local governments, and states immediately thereafter.
Key Points:
- Kwankwaso will officially register with the ADC on Monday at his Gidan Kwankwasiyya residence in Kano.
- All Kwankwasiyya members are directed to register with the ADC across their wards, LGAs, and states.
- The movement described the decision as strategic and taken in the best interest of the nation.
- Kwankwaso is joining a coalition seeking to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
- The ADC has recently attracted defections from Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai, and other opposition figures.
As Kwankwaso formally exits the NNPP for the ADC, the movement's directive sets the stage for a significant political realignment ahead of the 2027 elections, positioning the ADC as a major opposition coalition.
