He described the move as a new phase in the group’s political journey, reaffirming its unity and determination to pursue what he called better governance and national development.
The announcement is expected to reshape political alignments ahead of upcoming elections, with analysts closely watching the implications of Kwankwaso’s entry into the ADC and its potential impact on Nigeria’s broader political landscape.
