Kwankwaso Poised to Defect to NDC as Stakeholder Meeting Looms

Former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is reportedly on the verge of joining the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). He has convened a meeting of key stakeholders at his Kano residence tonight as a decisive step toward formalising the defection. Recent high-level talks with NDC leaders, including a delegation in Abuja led by the party’s North-West vice chairman, have strengthened calls for his switch ahead of the 2027 general elections. Insiders say no final decision has been made. Discussions also involve other opposition platforms such as the PRP, while speculation grows over a potential joint ticket with Labour Party’s Peter Obi. Supporters have launched an “OK Movement” urging both leaders to unite. Analysts note that internal challenges in the African Democratic Congress may have accelerated Kwankwaso’s move. All eyes are on tonight’s meeting, which could reshape opposition alliances across Nigeria.
