In a major political shake-up in Kano State, former APC gubernatorial candidate, Yusuf Nasiru Gawuna, has officially resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), paving the way for his anticipated defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition.
Gawuna’s exit from the ruling party signals a significant realignment in Kano’s political landscape, as he prepares to team up with the influential political bloc led by former governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Sources close to the development revealed that the move is part of broader strategic calculations ahead of future elections, with the ADC coalition positioning itself as a formidable alternative force in the state.
Political observers say Gawuna’s defection could reshape party dynamics in Kano, given his strong grassroots support and prior role as a key APC figure in the fiercely contested gubernatorial race.
While details of his formal declaration into the ADC are still unfolding, insiders suggest that preparations are in top gear for a high-profile reception into the Kwankwaso-led fold.
The APC is yet to issue an official statement on the development, but the resignation marks yet another crack in the party’s structure in Kano, as opposition alliances continue to gain momentum.
