The Former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, and former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, are reportedly finalizing moves to defect to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) next week.
The disclosure was made by the spokesperson of the Kwankwasiyya movement., Habibu Mohammed.
According to him, discussions with the NDC are about 90 percent complete, with only minor issues left to be resolved.
Mohammed noted that both leaders, along with other political stakeholders, are likely to formally join the party by early next week following what he described as a unanimous endorsement.
He added that the decision followed a meeting involving representatives from all 44 local government areas in Kano State, where stakeholders reportedly approved the move.
The planned defection is linked to the ongoing leadership crisis within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which has raised concerns about the party’s stability ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to Mohammed, recent legal disputes within the ADC contributed to the decision, as stakeholders concluded that remaining in a party facing internal uncertainty could affect their political prospects.
