Kwankwaso Reportedly Reaches Agreement to Join ADC

Former Kano State Governor and leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has reportedly reached a political agreement with the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), signaling a possible realignment ahead of future elections.
Sources close to the development disclosed that discussions between Kwankwaso and top ADC stakeholders have progressed significantly, with both sides agreeing in principle on a framework that would allow the former presidential candidate to formally join the party. The move is said to be part of broader efforts to strengthen a viable third-force platform capable of challenging Nigeria’s dominant political parties.
Kwankwaso, who contested the 2023 presidential election under the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), commands a strong grassroots following, particularly in the North-West. His potential defection is expected to boost the ADC’s national profile and expand its support base across key regions of the country.
Although neither Kwankwaso nor the ADC leadership has officially confirmed the agreement, party insiders describe the talks as “strategic and progressive,” noting that consultations with critical stakeholders are ongoing to finalize modalities.
Political observers believe that Kwankwaso’s reported move could reshape opposition politics and trigger fresh alignments as political actors position themselves ahead of the next general elections.
More details are expected to emerge in the coming days as both parties conclude internal processes and make formal announcements.
