In a development that could reshape the political landscape of Kano State, former Deputy Governor Nasir Yusuf Gawuna has officially defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The high-profile move, confirmed today, marks a significant turning point for the seasoned politician, who previously served under the administration of former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
Gawuna’s entry into the ADC is already sending ripples across Kano’s political circles, with analysts predicting a potential realignment ahead of future elections.
Known for his strong grassroots appeal and loyal support base, his defection is expected to bolster the ADC’s growing presence in the North-West.
While details surrounding the reasons for his departure from the APC remain closely guarded, insiders hint at strategic positioning and widening political consultations within opposition ranks.
Party stakeholders in the ADC have welcomed Gawuna with open arms, describing his arrival as “a major boost” to the party’s structure and electoral prospects in Kano and beyond.
As the dust settles, all eyes are now on how this move will influence the unfolding political dynamics in one of Nigeria’s most politically significant states.
