Sen. Ibrahim Shekarau, former governor of Kano State, on Saturday received his membership card of the All Progressives Congress, APC, following his return to the fold.
Shekarau received the card at his Giginyu constituency.
He was accompanied by the Kano State Governor, Malam Abba Yusuf, the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, as well as other party stalwarts.
In a brief remark after getting his card, Shekarau expressed appreciation for the support shown by party members and reiterated his commitment to contributing to the growth of the APC in Kano and beyond.
He said that the development “reflects ongoing political realignments in the state.”
Shekarau’s return represents a significant moment in the politics of the north-western state as the former governor commands a significant following.
With his movement to the APC, Shekarau is expected to join forces with former governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, to fight another former governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, who recently left the NNPP to the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Governor Yusuf secured the seat on the NNPP platform before he left the party to join the APC.
