The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has led a delegation of bigwigs of the party to formally meet former governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Sheharu in Kano.
The APC chairman and other members of delegation stormed Mundubawa Palace of the former Governor of Kano State who is Sardauna of Kano Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau to welcome him to join APC who was its Founding Fathers.”
The delegation comprised Kano state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, with a huge crowd of supporters, chanting “APC’’.
Shekarau, a chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dumped the party during the week and opted for APC.
Shekarau is believed to be uncomfortable with the defection back to PDP, of former Governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Apparently referring to the strength of his party, the Acting National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, tweeted: “When spider web unites, they tie up lion.”
According to Longe Lanre, tweet @longe_lanre: “Malam Ibrahim Shekarau finally defects to @OfficialAPCNg this gives APC total control in all strata of elections in Kano. @MBuhari victory becomes highly probable as we inch towards 2019 general elections.
It is a case of who laughs last…”
