Kwankwaso, who was a one-term Minister of Defence, registered with the ADC and received his membership card at Gidan Kwankwasiyya, Miller Road, Bompai in Kano on Monday, March 30.
Present at the event are the party's national chairman and former president of the Senate, David Mark, ex-governor of Sokoto and Rivers, Aminu Tambuwal and Rotimi Amaechi. Others are Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party; Senator Dino Melaye and the former national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), among others.
The ADC was the party adopted by the coalition in a bid to sack President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election. The movement was started by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Earlier, Kwankwaso announced his resignation from the NNPP, citing the need for political alignment and realignment ahead of the 2027 general election.
Speaking on the defection in an exclusive interview with Legit.ng, Olajumoke Victor urged the ADC to define its ideology for Nigerians.
He said:
"Numbers alone do not guarantee strength. A strong opposition requires clear ideology, credible leadership, and a national structure. While the ADC is gaining attention, it still needs to prove that it can effectively challenge the ruling party."

Legit.ng earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu's chances in the 2027 election appeared to be in with stronger opposition ahead of the next cycle of polls in the country.
