Ibrahim Shekarau, a former governor of Kano State, has finally defected from the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
This is the second time Mr Shekarau will be joining to the PDP. He was in the PDP between 2014 and 2018 after leaving the ANPP.
Mr Shekarau announced his defection at a grand ceremony at his residence in Kano on Monday, graced by the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar; Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto; PDP National Chairman, Iyochia Ayu, and other party stakeholders.
The senator said he had already written a letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the NNPP offices at the national, state, local government and ward levels informing them of his decision to quit the party.
According to him, INEC at the national and state levels has been notified of his decision to relinquish his senatorial contest in NNPP.
