Rabiu Kwankwaso has dismissed reports of an impending exit from the African Democratic Congress. In a statement released on Saturday, the former Kano State governor said no final decision has been made about his political future or that of his allies. He described media narratives suggesting otherwise as misleading. Kwankwaso cited a Supreme Court ruling that affirmed the legitimacy of the David Mark-led National Working Committee while remitting the matter back to the High Court, creating internal uncertainty. A Federal High Court judgment invalidating the party's recent convention and the Attorney General of the Federation's move to seek the ADC's deregistration have worsened the situation. "We have commenced wide-ranging consultations, including with leaders from the NDC, PRP and others to explore the best options for protecting our democratic interests," Kwankwaso said. He confirmed his absence from two recent ADC meetings was due to personal commitments, adding that he had formally apologised to party leadership. He recalled placing second in the 2014 APC presidential primary behind Muhammadu Buhari and supporting Buhari's candidacy. He also participated in the 2019 PDP presidential primary, backed Atiku Abubakar after losing, and served as the party's campaign coordinator in the North. Kwankwaso stated the ADC has neither zoned its presidential ticket nor selected a candidate for 2027, and he has not declared interest or endorsed anyone. "All speculations to the contrary are premature and unfounded," he said. He pledged to continue cross-platform engagements and promised official communication on any definitive decision at the appropriate time.
