Former Kano Governor and APC founding member Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso may be reunited with the party, offering strategic advantage ahead of 2027.
Chukwuma Eze writes that if Dr. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso—founding member of the APC and former governor of Kano State—returns to the party, it may significantly bolster APC’s fortunes ahead of the 2027 polls. His re-entry is viewed as a potential bridge toward reconciling Kano and northern elites.
Kwankwaso still commands considerable loyalty in Nigerian politics, especially in Kano and the broader North. Bringing him back could offset political losses amid growing defections and discontent within key constituencies.
Political strategists believe the move may also signal APC’s readiness to co-opt opposition forces and create stronger alliances. This echoes patterns seen in previous political recalibrations leading to electoral success.
Observers say the return would reaffirm APC’s claim as an inclusive national party, potentially delivering greater voter mobilisation across contested regions. All this comes at a critical moment as Nigeria moves toward 2027.
