Former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, is set to defect from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) next week.
Spokesperson for the movement, Habibu Mohammed, disclosed this to TheCable on Friday night, noting that consultations with the NDC are at an advanced stage, with only minor details left to be finalised.
Mohammed added that Kwankwaso, alongside the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, is expected to formally join the NDC on Monday or Tuesday.
“I believe him, Peter Obi, and some others will be joining the NDC,” Mohammed said.
He further revealed that representatives from all 44 local government areas of Kano State met at Kwankwaso’s residence around 3:30 p.m. on Friday to deliberate on the available options.
According to him, the meeting ended with a unanimous endorsement of the planned move.
“The stakeholders have unanimously given him the go-ahead to move to the NDC,” he said.
Mohammed also stated that Kwankwaso is currently in Kano and is expected to return to Abuja on Sunday ahead of the planned defection.
