Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Governor of Kano State and ex-presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The former Minister of Defence completed his registration on Monday at Gidan Kwankwasiyya, Miller Road, Bompai, Kano, where he was presented with his ADC membership card.
The event attracted several prominent politicians, including ADC National Chairman and ex-Senate President David Mark, former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, ex-Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, Senator Dino Melaye, and ex-APC National Chairman John Odigie-Oyegun.
Kwankwaso resigned from the NNPP on Sunday, citing the need for strategic political realignment.
In his resignation statement, he said, “It was not an easy decision to leave a party I have been deeply involved with. But considering the nation’s current political direction, I believe aligning with a new platform will give me the best chance to contribute to meaningful national change.”
