Shekarau Formally Defects To APC, Says He Left PDP Because Of Kwankwaso

Ibrahim Shekarau, a former governor of Kano State, has formally defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressive Congress.

Shekarau declared his much anticipated defection at a meeting with loyalists held at his Mundubawa avenue residence on Saturday.

He said he decided to leave PDP due to the injustice the national leadership of the party meted against the state leadership of the PDP.

Shekarau said the main reason for taking this decision is due to the concession of 51 per cent of the party’s leadership structure from state to ward level to a presidential aspirant, Rabiu Kwankwaso, who recently decamped to the party.
