A former Governor of Kano State, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Shekarau joined the New Nigeria Peoples Party.
The former Director General of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s Support Group AbdulMumin Jibrin, announced this on his Twitter handle.
In his tweet, Jibrin wrote “BREAKING- Sen Ibrahim Shekarau joins NNPP.”
The party itself later shared photos of the former Governor and leader of the NNPP, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso when he visited Shekarau. The party wrote, “His Excellency Engr Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso paid a congratulatory visit today to former Gov (Sen) Ibrahim Shekarau after he decamped to NNPP,” the party posted.
Shekarau represents Kano Central in the Senate.
