Kwankwasiyya Signals Shift as Kwankwaso Finalizes Move to ADC

The Kwankwasiyya Movement has announced a major political shift, directing its nationwide base to align with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the formal defection of its leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

In a statement issued Saturday, spokesperson Habibu Sale Mohammed disclosed that the former presidential candidate has completed plans to join the ADC as political realignments gather pace toward the 2027 elections.

“The Kwankwasiyya Movement wishes to formally inform all its members across Nigeria and the general public that our Supreme Leader, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has concluded all necessary arrangements to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC),” the statement read.

Kwankwaso is expected to formally register with the party on Monday, March 30, 2026, at noon at his residence, Gidan Kwankwasiyya, on Miller Road in Kano.

Beyond the announcement, the movement issued a sweeping directive to its members to immediately begin registration with the ADC at all levels and to integrate fully into the party’s structure.

“Consequently, all members of the Kwankwasiyya Movement are hereby directed to proceed and register with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in their respective wards, local government areas, and states immediately thereafter. Members are also encouraged to fully engage in all party activities and contribute actively toward the growth, development, and success of the party at all levels.

“This strategic decision, as always, has been taken in the best interest of the movement, our state, and the nation at large. It reflects our unwavering commitment to the advancement of democratic values, good governance, and the collective aspirations of the people.

“We emphasize that democracy must be protected, and the will of the people must always be respected.”
