Kabiru Adamu Abdullahi, described by multiple outlets as a long-time ally of Rabiu Kwankwaso of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), defects to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Both reports say he leaves the NDC and announces his intention to join the APC ahead of the 2027 election cycle.
Daily Post Nigeria reports that Abdullahi resigns from the NDC through a letter addressed to the chairman of Kofar Ruwa Ward in Dala Local Government Area, Kano State. Legit.ng similarly highlights the defection and says Abdullahi cites frustrations with promises not being met, framing the move as relevant to party dynamics and positioning leading into 2027. Across the two accounts, the core point of agreement is the shift from NDC to APC by Abdullahi, who is portrayed as a close political supporter of Kwankwaso.
While both sources confirm the party change, they differ in emphasis: Legit.ng foregrounds Abdullahi’s stated reasons related to unmet commitments, whereas Daily Post Nigeria focuses more on the formal resignation process and his prior alliance with Kwankwaso.
