Noticeable indications came out on Tuesday that former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, may formally obtain his membership card of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Wednesday.
Sources within the ADC leadership disclosed that Kwankwaso is expected to register as a member of the opposition party in his hometown, Kwankwaso, located in Madobi Local Government Area of Kano State.
Kwankwaso, who was the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 election, has in recent weeks hosted key figures of the ADC at his Kano residence, fuelling speculation about his imminent defection.
Among those who visited him recently is the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party Nigeria, Peter Obi, and former governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson.
Also, Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, met with Kwankwaso amid growing claims that he is considering a move to the ADC.
Makinde is a leading figure in a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party Nigeria (PDP), led by Kabiru Turaki, SAN.
