A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has officially welcomed the immediate past Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, into the party.
Kwankwaso described the defection as a significant development that would strengthen the party’s structure ahead of future political contests.
Naija News reports that the former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) made the announcement via his official handle on Monday.
He commended Gwarzo’s decision to align with what he described as a growing opposition coalition.
According to him, the entry of the former deputy governor would add value to the party’s leadership and grassroots appeal.
Kwankwaso, in his message, expressed optimism about the impact of Gwarzo’s defection on the party’s fortunes.
“I heartily congratulate Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, the immediate past Deputy Governor of Kano State, on his decision to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC),” he wrote.
He added, “The grand reception held yesterday in Gwarzo Town has not only strengthened our ranks with his wealth of experience, but has also injected fresh energy and renewed enthusiasm into the party.
“Welcome home, Your Excellency, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo.”
Naija News recalls that Gwarzo formally joined the ADC on Sunday during a well-attended reception held in Gwarzo Town, Kano State.
The event drew party supporters and political stakeholders, signalling growing momentum for the ADC in the state.
