As the 2027 political cycle begins to take shape, former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso has addressed the swirling rumors regarding his standing within the African Democratic Congress (ADC). In a detailed update shared via his official social media channel on Saturday, the influential politician clarified that while the future remains under review, a definitive path has not yet been set for himself or his political associates.
According to insights gathered, Kwankwaso admitted that the current climate within the ADC has prompted high-level consultations with other political platforms. He specifically confirmed ongoing talks with leadership from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP). These discussions suggest a potential realignment as the veteran politician weighs his options amidst growing instability in his current party.
The move comes at a time when the ADC is grappling with a series of complex legal hurdles. Kwankwaso pointed out that a recent Supreme Court judgment created a bittersweet scenario for the party; while it validated the David Mark-led National Working Committee, it simultaneously sent aspects of the dispute back to the High Court. This legal ping-pong has left the party’s administrative future hanging in the balance, creating what Kwankwaso described as a precarious situation for its members.
Further complicating matters is a Federal High Court ruling that invalidated the party’s most recent convention. Adding to this pressure, reports monitored by Zoyols News indicate that the Attorney General of the Federation has applied for the deregistration of the ADC. For Kwankwaso, these developments feel like a case of history repeating itself, as he noted that these technical and legal battles mirror the exact challenges that previously led to his exit from the New Nigeria Peoples Party.
Despite the obvious friction and the threat of the party’s dissolution, Kwankwaso is urging his supporters to remain calm as the process unfolds. He noted that the misleading narratives currently circulating in the public do not reflect the reality of his current deliberations. While the exit from the ADC appears increasingly likely given the mounting obstacles, his final decision will depend on the outcome of these broader political consultations.
