Nasiru Gawuna, former Deputy Governor of Kano State, paid a visit to Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso at his Miller Road residence in Kano, signaling a potential shift in the state’s political landscape.
Gawuna recently resigned as Chairman of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) and announced his departure from the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing compliance with President Bola Tinubu’s directive.
Kwankwaso, who also recently resigned from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), welcomed Gawuna and expressed optimism about their collaboration.
Gawuna’s defection is seen as a significant boost to Kwankwaso’s African Democratic Congress (ADC) party, potentially reshaping alliances in Kano ahead of the 2027 elections.
Gawuna’s move comes amid speculation about his future plans, with some suggesting he may join the ADC alongside Kwankwaso.
The development has sparked intense political maneuvering in Kano, with APC leaders reportedly trying to prevent Gawuna’s defection.
Would you like to know more about the implications of Gawuna’s defection or Kwankwaso’s ADC party?
