The vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Sunday welcomed a group of defectors from the All Progressives Congress in Madobi Local Government Area of Kano State into the NDC.
Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano State, disclosed this in a statement shared on his official X account, expressing satisfaction over the latest defections.
“I was delighted to receive a group of defectors from Madobi Local Government Area who have left the APC to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC),” he said.
“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.”
Photos shared from the event showed Kwankwaso, dressed in white traditional attire and his signature red-and-white cap, addressing a large crowd alongside the NDC’s Kano Central Senatorial candidate, Nasiru Gawuna.
Other images captured enthusiastic supporters, many wearing the red caps synonymous with the Kwankwasiyya movement, cheering and raising their hands in support.
The defections are expected to bolster the NDC’s growing presence in Kano State as political parties intensify preparations for the 2027 general elections.
