 Former Kano State Deputy Governor and 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, has officially defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The development signals a notable shift in Kano’s political landscape, given Gawuna’s influence within the APC and his role as the party’s flagbearer in the 2023 gubernatorial election. His move is expected to boost the ADC’s visibility and competitiveness in the state.

Although specific reasons for his defection have not been publicly outlined, political realignments of this nature are often driven by internal party dynamics, strategic calculations, or preparations for future elections.

Observers say the defection could reshape alliances in Kano State politics, potentially affecting the strength and strategy of both the APC and ADC going forward.
