2027: Kwankwaso, Kano Supporters Set to Join ADC on Monday

In a major political development ahead of the 2027 general elections, supporters of Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso in Kano State are reportedly preparing to officially defect to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Monday.

Sources within the Kwankwasiyya movement disclosed that the planned move is part of a broader strategy to realign political forces and strengthen grassroots mobilization in Northern Nigeria. The supporters, largely drawn from Kano’s strong political base, are said to be dissatisfied with internal dynamics in their current party and are seeking a more inclusive platform.

The ADC, which has been positioning itself as a viable alternative ahead of 2027, is expected to receive the new entrants at a formal event in Kano. Party leaders have expressed optimism that the defection will boost their influence in the region and enhance their electoral prospects.

Political analysts say the move could significantly reshape Kano’s political landscape, given Kwankwaso’s enduring popularity and loyal following. However, it remains unclear whether the former governor himself will formally join the ADC or maintain his current political alignment while his supporters move.

Observers believe that if fully actualized, the shift could trigger further defections across party lines as political actors reposition ahead of the next election cycle.
