By Suleiman Anyalewechi

The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, on Monday, March 30, 2026, announced that it has entered into an alliance with the African Democratic Congress, ADC, ahead of the 2027 Presidential polls.

The revelation is coming just 24 hours after the resignation of  Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, its National Leader and Presidential Candidate in the 2023 general elections.

The leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and former Governor of Kano State, had, on Sunday March 29, formally resigned from the NNPP, citing recent events within the country’s political landscape which call for realignments, as a major reason for his action.

But speaking on a Channels Television programme  Monday, the party’s spokesperson, Ladipo Johnson, informed that the NNPP will still be very active on the political field in 2027, despite  Senator Kwankwaso’s exit.

He explained that the party and its leadership were fully part of the discussions that led to the exit of its former presidential candidate.

“The NNPP will continue to contest elections. Although at the level of the Presidential contest, we will be aligning with the ADC, and maybe some of the national elections. But we are going to  field candidates at the state level”, Johnson stated.

He revealed that several alignment talks were held between the NNPP and the opposition camp before a decision was reached for Kwankwaso to leave.

According to him,  Senator Kwankwaso’s exit,  rather than being a minus for the NNPP, will be a huge boost for the opposition Coalition.

He emphasized that opposition leaders across party lines are working assiduously towards ensuring Nigeria’s rescue.

Johnson gave the assurance that the former Kano State Governor is surely ADC bound , alongside his supporters , including members of the Kwankwasiyya Movement.

“There were a lot discussions before the exit of Senator Kwankwaso ,and more talks are ongoing among leaders of the opposition camp.

” Finally, some of the opposition leaders have come together ,and deci that it will  best serve their purposes ,and that of Nigerians for them to come together under one platform to offer themselves as an alternative ahead of the 2027 elections.

“Kwankwaso resigned from the New Nigeria Peoples Party ,and will cross over to the ADC today in Kano state” the NNPP spokesman explained.
