A former Governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, on Monday, formally returned to the opposition People Democratic Party (PDP) after a spell at the New Nigeria People Party (NNPP).

Mr Shekarau moved to the NNPP with thousands of his supporters on 18 May, following a disagreement with the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, over the control of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state.

The former governor was one of the politicians who formed the APC in 2013.

He was a member of the PDP when he was elected the governor between 2003 and 2011.

The former governor announced his defection from the NNPP at his residence in Kano at an event attended by the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his running mate, and governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa.

At the event, Mr Shekarau said he has written to inform the leadership of the NNPP of his intention to leave the party.

“Myself and thousands of my followers have defected to the People Democratic Party, and are now bona fide members of the PDP,” he said.

“I have formally written to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that I am no longer a senatorial candidate under the NNPP.

[b]The former governor said he will work to ensure the success of the presidential candidate of the party, Mr Atiku, not only in Kano but in all the states of the federation.

Mr Shekarau was subsequently registered as a member of the PDP by the national chairman of the party, Mr Ayu.

“It is my happiest day because Kano is strategic to the success of the party,” Mr Ayu remarked at the event.

He said the party is more interested in Mr Shekarau because he is a selfless leader who believes in teamwork and who abandoned his senatorial ambition to satisfy his people.

“The PDP always believed in teamwork and will never be an individualistic entity of any person,” Mr Ayu said.

Governors at the event include Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State; Darius Ishaku of Taraba State; and the National Chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu; and members of the party’s Board of Trustees led by Walid Jibril.

Other dignitaries are former Vice President, Namadi Sambo; former Deputy Governor of Zamfara State, Mahdi Aliyu, and former Minister of Transport, Idris Umar; Ahmad Babba-Kaita, Senator for Katsina North District, and former lawmakers, Dino Melaye, and Shehu Sani.

Former Governors of Jigawa, Sokoto, Katsina, Kaduna, and Adamawa, Sule Lamido, Saminu Turaki, Attahiru Bafarawa, Shehu Shema, Ahmad Makarfi, and Boni Haruna, respectively attended the event.

Ganduje don carry Tinubu handicap

Man has gone missing after urging Tinubu on to pick a Boko Haram sponsor in a Muslim Muslim ticket.

The owners of the north are now aligning for their own.

Now Tinubu is sure of only about half of Southwest votes in 2023.

Tinubu and APC are the third force in the coming election

Shekerau is now politically weak?

You didn’t say that when you lord and Master, BAT, was sending private jets to pick him so he can beg him to return to APC.

Now, Tinubu is watching the northern votes which he so much depends on with his life, vanish like ashes into the wind.

But I’m happy.

Because after Tinubu’s humiliation, no southern politician will ever engage in the sort of treachery against the south that Tinubu and his urchins engaged in, in 2015.

Tambuwal on the beat.

North is for Atiku.

Tambuwal is the master planner.

The picture below was how Tinubu's betrayal started..

This guy fit go win o..

Obi is not serious,the youths carry the matter for head pass obi himself.

Tinubu is not even an option at all.. I trust the north to retire him by Feb.

Atiku would win the state and local t has nothing to do with you.

He wants to claim credit

Shekarau has reduced Kwankwaso's vote by half. And totally eliminated APC votes to 5%

When Shekarau was in NNPP
NNPP- 55%
APC-20%
PDP- 20%
LP- 5%

Now that Shekarau factor

NNPP-25%
APC- 5%
PDP- 40%
LP- 30%

Tinubu In the mud

2023 is between Atiku and Obi

No one cares tbh

One thing I know is the criminal Atiku would only rule his fellow herdsmen.

No one can impose his failuree on another region.

Not only is Atiku is a criminal but a bigot who converted his wives to Muslims and murderous person who champion killer herdsmen..

A criminal who looted Nigeria dry through the privatisation he supervised as VP. No one dares to return such criminal to rule us again or else everyone goes back to their tent.

This was senate indicting Atiku here below.

Pdp power

Collect ur money

I see Tinubu coming 4th in next year's election behind Kwankwaso who would finish 3rd.

This I have seen.

Never trust these Northerners


They have same interest all over

Deliverer welcome back to the Second most useless political party of the world,as APC leads the list..PDP is very wicked party for giving their presidential ticket to another fulani man..that one won't fly...just as muslim muslim ticket won't fly too...we need to vote wisely this time around
