Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and a former governor of Kano State, is apparently thinking about joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as opposition leaders reposition themselves ahead of the 2027 national elections.
According to local Kano newspapers, Kwankwaso is in talks with ADC to establish a coalition with Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential contender, and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
The negotiations take place in the midst of indications that a large portion of Kwankwaso’s Kano political structure is shifting in favor of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). It is said that this shift encompasses his devoted fans, members of the Kwankwasiyya movement.
Even though Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf is anticipated to defect to the APC, which is thought to have caused tension within the Kwankwasiyya camp, negotiations are allegedly still going on.
The party is willing to welcome Kwankwaso in Kano, according to Habib Hisham, a former NNPP chieftain who has now joined ADC. The 2027 polls would be greatly impacted by such a union, he continued.
“I know our party leaders are working on bringing Kwankwaso to join the ADC,” he said. We’ll be delighted to have him.
