The vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Sunday welcomed a group of defectors from the All Progressives Congress in Madobi Local Government Area of Kano State into NDC.
In a statement shared on his official X account, the former Kano State governor expressed delight over the development.
“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 show Kwankwaso, dressed in white traditional attire and his signature red-and-white cap, flanked by the party’s Kano Central senatorial candidate, Nasiru Gawuna, addressing a large crowd of supporters from an elevated position while holding a microphone.
Other images show large gatherings of supporters, many wearing the red caps associated with the Kwankwasiyya movement, cheering and raising their hands.
The reception underscores the NDC’s efforts to expand its support base in Kano State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
