Ex-Governor Shekarau Dumps PDP, Joins APC in Kano Political Shift
Former Kano State Governor and Senator Malam Ibrahim Shekarau has officially defected from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Shekarau, who governed Kano from 2003 to 2011 announced the switch at a political gathering in Kano, following consultations with supporters.
Kano Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf welcomed the move, saying it would significantly bolster APC's dominance in the state.
