Former Kano Governor Senator Ibrahim Shekarau has announced his resignation as a member of the the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
Shekarau is the senatorial candidate of the NNPP in the 2023 general election but has dumped the party on the account that his followers were denied forms to also pursue their political ambitions.
“I am done with NNPP,” he told a crowd of supporters at the Kano Foundation office along BUK road on Monday.
Though the former governor did not disclose the party he intends to move to, some All Progressives Congress (APC) members on Monday jubilated Shekarau, who represents Kano Central in the Senate on the ruling party’s ticket, is set to rejoin the party.
“Shekarau is scheduled to meet with the APC presidential candidate, Senator Ahmad Bola Tunubu, who wants him to return to APC, where he jumped ship to NNPP because he was denied second term ticket,” a source said.
