A prominent figure in the Kwankwasiyya movement in Kano, Hon. Kabiru Adamu Abdullahi, has stepped down from the African Democratic Congress, citing a directive from the movement’s leader.
In a resignation letter dated May 1 and addressed to his ward chairman in Kofar Ruwa, Abdullahi said his decision takes immediate effect.
He thanked the party for the opportunity to serve and wished its leadership well going forward.
Abdullahi, a House of Assembly aspirant and a key Kwankwasiyya figure in Dala Local Government Area, later made his position clearer in a Facebook post.
He said the move followed instructions from the movement’s leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, whom loyalists often refer to as “Jagora.”
“This is the order of Jagora,” he wrote.
His exit adds to the shifting political alignments in Kano, particularly within camps linked to Kwankwaso, as parties begin to reposition ahead of the next election cycle.
