How Kwankwaso disappointed us – Shekarau concludes plan to dump NNPP

A former governor of Kano State, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, has revealed how his successor, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, disappointed him and his supporters after joining the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in May 2022.

Shekarau, who spoke at a press conference in Kano on Monday, promised to announce his final decision of defection in a few days.

The former All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, who currently represents Kano Central in the Senate, met with the highest decision body, The Shura Council, at the weekend to discuss issues related to Atiku Abubakar’s proposal for him to join the PDP.

The committee, under the chairmanship of Barrister Habib Shehu, had submitted its report for consideration.

Meanwhile, there are feelers that he will join the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
