Strong indications emerged 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 party disclosed that Kwankwaso is expected to register in his hometown of Kwankwaso, located in Madobi Local Government Area of Kano State.

Kwankwaso, who was the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party in the 2023 election, has in recent weeks hosted key figures of the ADC at his residence in Kano, fuelling speculation about a possible defection.

Among recent visitors was the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party Nigeria, Peter Obi. Similarly, Seyi Makinde, Governor of Oyo State, also met with Kwankwaso amid growing claims he may be considering a move to the ADC.

Makinde is a leading figure in a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party Nigeria led by Kabiru Turaki (SAN). The faction remains embroiled in a prolonged leadership dispute with another camp aligned with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

Both camps continue to assert control over the party, with reconciliation efforts yet to produce a meaningful resolution.

Meanwhile, the ADC leadership on Tuesday received the report of its constitution review committee. The report was presented to the party’s National Legal Adviser, Oserheimen Osunbor, on behalf of the National Chairman, David Mark.

In a statement delivered by Osunbor, Mark emphasised that the constitution review must reflect current political realities and meet the expectations of party members, particularly in strengthening internal democracy, transparency, and accountability.

He noted that the review process involved extensive consultations across states, zones, and key stakeholders, underscoring the party’s commitment to inclusiveness.

“As we receive this report today, let me assure you that the National Working Committee will carefully study its recommendations with utmost seriousness,” the statement read.
