The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, will today receive the Senator representing Kano Central, Ibrahim Shekarau, and his political associates back to the party in Kano today.
Recall that the Kano born politician dumped the PDP for All Progressive Congress prior to 2019 general elections in the country.
Shekarau got elected into the red chamber on the platform of the APC.
However, the senator fell out with Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and defected to the New Nigeria People’s Party where he only spent a few months in the new party before his relationship with Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso went sour after some staunch loyalists of the senator did not get NNPP tickets to contest elective positions in the forthcoming general elections.
The former governor is now set to return to the former party the PDP.
The state chairman of the PDP, Shehu Sagagi, said Shekarau had agreed to return to the party where he started from.
Sagagi said, “I am delighted to tell you that Shekarau, being the highest political office holder as provided by the constitution, has accepted and we have welcomed him back to our dear party, the PDP.
“All arrangements are in top gear in preparation to receive Atiku Abubakar who will be in Kano today (Sunday), hopefully to receive Ibrahim Shekarau. We have accepted to follow him and we shall succeed, God willing.”
