A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and former Kano State governor, Ibrahim Shekarau, on Wednesday defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, with his loyalists.
Shekarau, backed by his supporters from the 44 local government areas of the state, made the declaration at his Bompai GRA residence in Kano.
According to him, the decision was to satisfy the aspirations of the people of the state who felt left out and deserted by the APC.
“We intended with the merger to form a solid foundation for entrenchment of democracy.
“The Legacy Group sacrificed all interests for the merger, but for the past six months all agreements reached had not been met.
“No clear leaders, no registration of APC members at any levels. This shows a clear lack of commitment, transparency and accountability to all concerned,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the supporters participated in the declaration with each group of stakeholders affirming the decision to defect to PDP. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Mallam you do not have focus. You are just looking for cheap popularity. We believe in APC and we will all give our support for the Party.
ReplyDeleteStory anonymous 3.53pm. We do not believe in Apc. A party with no clear direction can never hope of wining elections in this country. let them put their house in order first then we will start to take them seriously. This is only the first in a long line of prodigal sons that will return back to the PdP. APC has only helped the PDp to put its house back to order and to govern right in the years to come. They are not by far a better alternative and it will take them years to be that is assuming they stay together after losing the 2015 election
