<p>By Yusuf Danjuma Yunusa</p>
<p>Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has categorically denied that any final decision has been made regarding his political future, even as a close ally told reporters that he and fellow opposition leader Peter Obi plan to defect from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Monday.</p>
<p>In a statement issued in the late hours of Saturday, the former governor and 2023 presidential candidate acknowledged &#8220;wide-ranging consultations&#8221; with leaders from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), and others to explore options for protecting their democratic interests.</p>

<p>The clarification comes after Buba Galadima, a key Kwankwaso ally, disclosed to newsmen on Saturday, May 2, 2026, that both Kwankwaso and Obi would leave the ADC for a new political platform on Monday.</p>
<p>Kwankwaso cited multiple legal challenges facing the ADC, including a recent Federal High Court ruling that &#8220;delegitimised the party&#8217;s recent convention&#8221; and an application by the Attorney General of the Federation to deregister the party.</p>

<p>&#8220;We left the NNPP due to externally influenced legal problems that made our stay perilous,&#8221; Kwankwaso said. &#8220;The ADC has now been also forced into this difficulty.&#8221;</p>
<p>Regarding presidential ambitions, Kwankwaso noted that the ADC has yet to zone its presidential ticket or take any decision on a candidate. &#8220;I have therefore neither declared any intention to run for president nor endorsed any aspirant,&#8221; he stated.</p>
<p>His absence from two recent ADC stakeholders&#8217; meetings, he said, was due to &#8220;unavoidable personal commitments&#8221; for which he had apologised to party leadership.</p>
<p>A definitive position on his political direction will be announced &#8220;in the soonest possible time,&#8221; he added.</p>
