Nigerian journalist and Editor-in-Chief of Daily Nigerian, Jaafar Jaafar, has described the reported plans by Peter Obi and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to exit the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as the “biggest political foul.”
The Independent Mirror gathered that recent developments indicate that a former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, is reportedly set to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
Sources disclosed that Kwankwaso is expected to meet with key stakeholders this evening at his residence in Kano, in what is seen as a decisive step toward formalising his defection to the emerging opposition platform.
Earlier this week, the former governor hosted a delegation of the party in Abuja, including its National Vice Chairman (North-West), Mohammed Bakin. Party insiders said the delegation used the meeting to formally urge Kwankwaso to join the NDC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Jaafar Jaafar, in a post on his Facebook page, stated: “The biggest political foul Obi and Kwankwaso will make is to part ways with the ADC coalition. No matter how charismatic a leader is, people do not follow him to the grave. As long as ADC is alive, NDC will not fly.
If APC can plant Nafiu in the biggest opposition coalition, ADC, why do you think they cannot create another Nafiu in NDC or PRP to destabilise them? The problem bedevilling ADC is not Nafiu, but a corrupt judiciary and a biased electoral umpire.
As long as no opposition party has control over the judiciary and INEC, these challenges will persist. My advice is: stay in ADC and fight together. A boat cannot move forward if everyone is rowing in different directions.
Defeating a ruling party like APC and a politician like Tinubu is not an easy task, even if all political parties in Nigeria gang up against him.”
