Mustapha Kwankwaso, son of Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the 2023 New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, has resigned from the NNPP.
The former Kano State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development confirmed his decision on Monday through his official social media channels.
The resignation follows his father’s move to leave the NNPP and join the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Mustapha is now in the process of officially joining the ADC, signaling a new chapter in his political career.
Mustapha explained that his decision is guided by his belief that the ADC offers a stronger platform for achieving progress and good governance in Nigeria, particularly in Kano State. He cited the party’s vision for economic growth and social development as key factors in his choice.
The former commissioner also thanked his supporters in the Kwankwasiyya Movement for their continued loyalty and said he looks forward to collaborating with the ADC to advance shared goals of governance and public service.
The development marks a coordinated shift within the Kwankwaso political network, as father and son align with the ADC ahead of future political activities in the country.
