Nasiru Gawuna, the 2023 Kano State governorship candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), has officially switched to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Gawuna, a former deputy governor of Kano State, received his ADC membership card at his Gawuna Ward in Nasarawa Local Government Area. The ceremony, which took place on Tuesday, drew notable figures, including Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former Kano State Governor, and ADC state chairman Musa Ungogo, among thousands of party supporters.
Gawuna expressed gratitude to his supporters and party leaders, promising to strengthen the ADC in Kano State. His decision to join the ADC comes amidst a series of political realignments in the state ahead of the 2027 general elections. The move is seen as a significant development in the state's political landscape, with key politicians adjusting their strategies in the run-up to the polls.
Gawuna's registration is expected to be followed by further developments in the Kano State political scene, as other politicians respond to his decision to join the ADC.
When Nasiru Gawuna says he's committed to strengthening the ADC in Kano State, that means he's betting on the party's chances in the 2027 elections. Gawuna's defection from the APC to the ADC is a significant move, and it's likely to send shockwaves through the state's political establishment.
