Former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Kwankwaso formalised his membership on Monday at Kwankwasiyya House in Kano, where he registered with the party and received his membership card ahead of the 2027 elections.
The event was attended by key political figures, including David Mark, national chairman of the ADC; Aminu Tambuwal; Rotimi Amaechi; Peter Obi; Dino Melaye; and John Odigie-Oyegun.
Party stakeholders and supporters were also present at the venue located along Miller road in the Bompai area of Kano state
Kwankwaso’s move to the ADC follows his resignation from the NNPP, the platform on which he contested the 2023 presidential election.
Announcing his exit, Kwankwaso expressed appreciation to the party for the opportunity to serve as its national leader and presidential candidate.
“I wish to formally announce my resignation from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) with immediate effect,” he said.
“I seize this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for the honour and privilege of serving as the party’s national leader and its presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections.”
