Kwankwaso’s Ally, Kabiru Abdullahi Dumps NDC For APC, Backs Tinubu by Pakute(op): 5:39pm On Aug 14

Kabiru Abdullahi, a long-time ally of the vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Abdullahi announced his resignation from the NDC in a letter addressed to the party chairman of Kofar Ruwa Ward in Dala Local Government Area of Kano State.

Abdullahi reportedly communicated his resignation from the NDC through a letter addressed to the chairman of the party in Kofar Ruwa Ward, Dala Local Government Area.

He said his decision was influenced by his experience within the political movement and what he described as years of unfulfilled promises.

“I have been with Kwankwaso for 29 years but have only benefited from failed promises. I will go to where I will be respected more,” Abdullahi said.

The politician said his long association with Kwankwaso did not translate into the political recognition and opportunities he had expected.

He subsequently declared his support for Tinubu and the APC as the country moves towards another presidential election.

Kwankwaso, a former Kano State governor and former presidential candidate, has remained one of the most influential political figures in northern Nigeria.

His political structure, known as the Kwankwasiyya movement, has continued to play a major role in Kano politics and in northern Nigeria.

Moreover, Abdullahi had previously resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) after the Kwankwasiyya movement moved towards the NDC.

His resignation at the time was linked to the directive of Kwankwaso, whom supporters commonly refer to as “Jagora.”

That earlier move came during a period of uncertainty surrounding the ADC and the political future of Kwankwaso and his supporters.

Kwankwaso and his political allies had initially joined the ADC as part of efforts to build a stronger opposition platform ahead of the 2027 election.

The arrangement later changed, with the Kwankwasiyya camp moving towards the NDC.

Abdullahi was among the grassroots politicians who followed the movement during that period.

In July 2026, Senator Rufai Hanga and former Kano governor Kabiru Gaya were among prominent figures received into the APC by Tinubu.

Hanga had been associated with Kwankwaso and represented Kano Central in the Senate, while Gaya had also been linked to the Kwankwasiyya political structure.

The fact that you don't know him in your back of the woods doesn't mean he's not a popular figure among kwankwasiyya.

Even me that lives in Kano, a northerner and diehard fan of kwankwaso don't know him at all.

If you read the article ago, you'll see where it is mentioned that he submitted the letter of resignation to the chairman of Dala local government council. That means even the chairman of a local government is more influential and well-known than him.

All these are just cheap propaganda to spread panic but they're only fooling themselves

APC will not mind to empty Nigeria's Treasury to win in '27.

Nigerians are resolved on what to do !

Unfortunately, the only people hell bent on the reelection of PBAT are Direct beneficiaries and hardcore Yoruba people.

2025 Capital Allocation of the budget implemented only to 30% and you have the audacity, temerity and guts to still share money.

Let them use he money shared by Remi Tinubu and City Boys to fund Capital Projects.

Rubbish, I live in Kano city and I've been a big fan of kwankwaso since he was governor and sponsored my younger siblings education till university level

That man kabiru or whatever he calls himself is a nobody. I've never heard or seen that face before.

If you doubt me look up the name on google and you will definitely see different faces bearing that nabe just like any other name.

We all know this is cheap propaganda from your camp to spread panic, but whoosai!
