In a move bound to inject life into opposition politics in Nigeria ahead of 2027 general elections, former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, yesterday resigned from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

The action is believed to pave the way for him to formally join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and team up with major opposition figures to contest the forthcoming elections.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi; former Senate President, David Mark and former governors of Osun and Rivers states, Rauf Aregbesola and Rotimi Amaechi are all in the ADC.

The development has raised the hope of the opposition who were almost giving up on the prospects of contesting the presidential elections in 2027.
