Former Kano Governor, Shekarau defects to PDP

A former Governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau has finally dumped the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Mr. Shekarau, alongside his supporters from the 44 local government areas of Kano state made the declaration at his Bompai GRA residence in Kano on Wednesday.

He said the decision is to satisfy the aspirations of the people of the state who are left out from the APC.

“We intended with the merger to form a solid foundation for entrenchment of democracy,” Mr, Shekarau, the presidential candidate of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP, in 2011, said.

“The Legacy Group sacrificed all interests for the merger, but for the past six months, all agreements reached by the merged parties had not being met.

“No clear leaders, no registration of APC members at any levels. This shows a clear lack of commitment, transparency and accountability to all concerned,” he said.
