2023: Atiku to receive former Kano Gov, Shekarau to PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar is expected to receive the Senator representing Kano Central, Ibrahim Shekarau, back to the PDP today [today].

The former Kano Governor who was elected as a Senator on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, left the ruling party earlier, after a face-off with the seating governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.

The PDP chairman in Kano State Shehu Wada Sagagi told Daily Trust that Shekarau had accepted to return to the main opposition party and would hopefully be received today.
