The Vice-Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has welcomed a group of people who defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) into the NDC in Madobi Local Government Area of Kano State.
Kwankwaso, a former Kano State governor, announced the development in a statement shared on his official X account on Sunday.
He said he was pleased to receive the new members and promised them fair treatment within the party.
“I was elated to receive a group of defectors from Madobi Local Government who have left the APC to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
“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,” he said.
Photographs from the event showed Kwankwaso dressed in white traditional clothing and wearing his trademark red-and-white cap. He was seen alongside the party’s Kano Central senatorial candidate, Nasiru Gawuna, as they addressed a large crowd of supporters.
Many of the supporters wore the red caps associated with the Kwankwasiyya movement and cheered as the leaders spoke.
The reception highlights the NDC’s efforts to strengthen its support base in Kano State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
