Similarly, an associate of Gawuna, Ahmed Gogel, stated that the 2023 governorship candidate has concluded plans to exit the ADC following extensive consultations with stakeholders.
These movements were triggered by the formal entry of Senator Kwankwaso and Peter Obi into the NDC.
Both leaders were captured on video receiving their party membership cards after a closed-door meeting at the Abuja residence of the NDC National Leader, Seriake Dickson.
This emerging coalition is viewed by analysts as a significant realignment of opposition forces intended to challenge the status quo in the 2027 general elections.
As Kwankwaso remains a dominant force in Kano, his transition to the NDC is expected to cause a ripple effect, leading to further defections among his core loyalists.
The formal announcements for Gwarzo and Gawuna are expected shortly, marking a definitive turn in the state’s political dynamics as actors reposition for the next electoral cycle.
