The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has recorded a significant political gain following the defection of former New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Kwankwaso officially joined the ADC on Monday in Kano State, marking a notable development ahead of future political alignments.
Reacting to the move, ADC National Chairman David Mark described the defection as a rejection of authoritarian leadership and a boost for democratic values. He noted that Kwankwaso’s entry into the party strengthens citizens’ participation in governance and reflects a growing desire among Nigerians to have a stronger voice in choosing their leaders. Mark made this statement during a visit to Kwankwaso’s residence in Kano. 
Speaking on his decision, Kwankwaso explained that the move was a collective one, driven by the shared vision of his supporters. He also confirmed that he has received his ADC membership card, officially cementing his position within the party.
