Rabiu Kwankwaso Joins ADC With Over One Million Followers As 2027 Race shifts Momentum
Former Kano state governor and prominent politician Rabiu Kwankwaso has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), signaling a major shift in Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections.
Kwankwaso, who scored 1.4 million votes in the 2023 presidential elections while running with the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), brings a significant support base to his new party.
Political analysts say this move could reshape the dynamics of the 2027 race, as Kwankwaso’s influence and voter following are likely to strengthen ADC’s position while challenging other major parties.
Kwankwaso, who registered with the ADC at his Miller Road country home on Monday, under registration number 000201, said Nigerians have a duty to free the country from the shackles of misgovernance and to go out on election day with serious-looking faces.
“For you to understand what I’m talking about, from today I will not allow anybody to pass the gates of my house without ADC and INEC registered cards; therefore, go out and ensure that you register accurately with our party and INEC,” he said.
Speaking, the national chairman of the ADC, Senator David Mark, said the day marks a defining moment in the history of the nation’s democracy. He added that it marks a special day in the journey to make Nigeria a better country and a more united nation.
“We stand together today, not just as one political party but as people united to make our dear country, Nigeria, a better nation. Nigeria can be better and must work better for all Nigerians.”
Mark explained that Kwankwaso is highly welcome, along with millions of his supporters, to the ADC. He said they have come together in unity of purpose, conviction and vision.
