Kano’s Political Earthquake: Kwankwaso and Gawuna Forge ADC ‘Super-Alliance’

In 2026, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso stunned the North-West by leaving the NNPP for the African Democratic Congress. Known for his grassroots “Red-Cap” movement, he instantly turned the ADC into a regional force. Days later, Deputy Governor Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna also defected. His track record in agriculture, education, and the Federal Mortgage Bank, plus strong youth and religious support, made the alliance seismic. This “Kano Super-Alliance” challenges the long-standing APC–PDP duopoly. It offers a genuine third way ahead of the 2027 elections, forcing voters to weigh performance against party labels.
