Kwankwaso welcomes Kano APC defectors into NDC

The vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has received a group of defectors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Madobi Local Government Area of Kano State.

Kwankwaso announced the development on Sunday in a statement shared on his official X account, describing the defections as another boost to the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He said he warmly welcomed the new members into the NDC and assured them of fair treatment and meaningful roles within the party.

“I was delighted to receive a group of defectors from Madobi Local Government who have left the APC to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress. History

I warmly welcomed them into our fold and assured them of fair and comfortable positions within our party. We continue to grow stronger, free from major distractions,” he said.

Photographs from the event showed Kwankwaso, dressed in white traditional attire with his signature red-and-white cap, addressing supporters alongside the NDC’s Kano Central senatorial candidate, Nasiru Gawuna.

Other images captured large crowds of enthusiastic supporters, many wearing the red caps associated with the Kwankwasiyya movement, cheering and waving in support of the party.

The reception highlights the NDC’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its political base in Kano State as preparations intensify for the 2027 elections.
