BEVERLY HILLS, September 07, (THEWILL) –Â After days of back and forth, a former governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Shekarau announced his decision to join the ruling party after a closed-door meeting with the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole.
The closed-door meeting was held on Friday in Kano State.
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and other top party officials were also at the meeting.
Shekarau while announcing his defection said he believes that given by the current state of the political situation in Nigeria, it is important he moves to the APC.
THEWILL recalls that his media aide had announced his defection to the APC on Monday but the former Governor and PDP Presidential aspirant denied it saying he was still in consultations with his followers.
