Top leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Monday touched down in Kano State ahead of the anticipated defection of former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, into the party.
The high-powered delegation, made up of several influential political figures, was welcomed at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport by the immediate past Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo.
Notable members of the delegation included former Senate President and current ADC National Chairman, David Mark; the party’s National Secretary and former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola; and former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi.
Also present were former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal; former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi; Senator Dino Melaye; former APC National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun; and former Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha.
Following their arrival, the political heavyweights moved to Kwankwaso’s residence on Miller Road in Kano, where last-minute arrangements were being finalized ahead of his formal defection to the ADC.
The gathering points to a significant shift in the political landscape, as leading opposition figures unite in Kano in what could reshape alignments ahead of upcoming elections.
