Tambuwal: ADC Structure Not Built for Atiku; Obi, Kwankwaso Defected to Test Popularity Elsewhere

Former Sokoto State Governor, Senator Aminu Tambuwal, has dismissed claims of a crisis within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), insisting that the recent defections of a former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, and his former counterpart in Kano State, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, from the party to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) were based on personal decisions rather than internal divisions.
The departures of the two opposition figures, alongside several federal lawmakers, had fuelled concerns that cracks may be emerging within the ADC-led coalition ahead of the 2027 general election.
Speaking in a television interview over the weekend, Tambuwal said the defections were not driven by internal disagreements within the party.
