Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, the former Governor of Kano State, has finally abandoned the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Shekarau was welcomed into the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) on Wednesday by Dr. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, the party’s Presidential Aspirant and National Leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement.
Senator Kwankwaso, who has been visiting Shekarau in an attempt to persuade him to join the NNPP, registered him as a member of the party as his Mundubawa Residence.
“Shekarau decamping was destined by the Almighty Allah because Ganduje has been mounting pressure on him to stay in the APC in the last couple days.
“On the other hand, Senator Kwankwaso and some politicians, including Honourable Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, former speaker of Kano state House of Assembly and former special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari, Honourable Abdulrahman Sulaiman Kawu Sumaila, have been persuading him to join the NNPP,” he claims.

“Alhamdulillah, the former governor has finally defected to the NNPP,” says the source. Shekarau, it appears, will not receive justice in the APC when it comes to contesting elections. As a result, we believe it is preferable for him to join the NNPP, where we believe he will be treated fairly.”
Senator Kwankwaso purged the NNPP shortly after his registration.
resented Shekarau to Kano central residents, a development that means Shekarau will be given an automatic ticket for the senatorial seat in the general elections of 2023.
