A former Governor of Kano State, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
This was announced by the former Director General of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s Support Group AbdulMumin Jibrin via Twitter on Tuesday night.
“BREAKING- Sen Ibrahim Shekarau joins NNPP. Details later,” he tweeted.
NNPP, via Twitter, also shared photographs of NNPP leader, Rabiu Kwakwanso during a visit to Shekarau.

“His Excellency Engr Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso paid a congratulatory visit today to former Gov (Sen) Ibrahim Shekarau after he decamped to NNPP,” the tweet read.
Recall that there had been speculations on whether Shekarau would defect to NNPP after the state Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje paid a visit to the former and was booed by his supporters.
