Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kano State, a move that has drawn prominent opposition leaders to witness the event.
The former Kano State governor and 2023 presidential candidate, who recently resigned from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), completed his registration with the ADC on Monday at his residence in Kano. His decision comes amid a strategic realignment of opposition forces ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Top political figures were present to receive Kwankwaso, including former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, former Speaker of the House of Representatives Aminu Tambuwal, and former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi. Their appearance highlighted growing unity among opposition leaders seeking to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress in 2027.

As political realignments continue, the ADC is positioning itself as a major opposition force, with the participation of influential leaders joining from various parties, reshaping Nigeria’s opposition landscape ahead of critical elections.
