Shekarau, former Kano State Governor and thousands of his supporters have finally taken a giant step and decamp to PDP.
The Nigerian Post had earlier reported that the former Governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, accused Kwankwaso for refusing to implement the terms of an agreement it reached with the group before its defection to the party.
On his part, Mr Kwankwaso in an earlier interview with BBC Hausa Service had said the party was unable to meet Mr Shekarau’s demand because his group came into the party late when the window of substitution of candidates given by the electoral commission (INEC) had closed.
Mr Kwankwaso said in the interview, “in politics, it’s a difficult decision to ask a politician to step down for someone”.
