Top members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) were present in Kano for Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso’s official defection to the party on Monday.
The former Minister of Defence registered with the party and received his membership card at Gidan Kwankwasiyya, Miller Road, Bompai, Kano.
Among the prominent personalities were former Senate President and ADC National Chairman, David Mark; ADC National Secretary and former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola; former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi; former Sokoto State governor, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal; former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi; Senator Dino Melaye; former APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun; and former Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha
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.”
