Ibrahim Shekarau, a former governor of Kano State, has announced his defection from the NNPP.
Speaking to a throng at the Kano Foundation headquarters on BUK Road, the senator charged that Rabiu Kwankwaso, the NNPP’s presidential candidate, had humiliated him in addition to betraying him.
Shekarau revealed that, throughout his brief tenure in the NNPP, only he received a senatorial form, leaving the rest of his thronging fans to languish in poverty.
He said: “I personally met him at his country home and discussed extensively my decisions to follow him to his new party and he expressed deep happiness”.

“And still on 11-5-2022 I still met Kwankwaso because since our last meeting we were not able to meet, and I reminded him of a proposal I submitted to him during our last meeting”.
“Similarly, on 16-5-2022, Kwankwaso came to my house at about 9pm and we still discussed extensively the same issues he even called five people including Abba Kabir, Kawu Sumaila, Alhassan Rirum and two others and presented them to me as those to make the lists of contestants.
“During the meeting which led to my decamping, Kwankwaso came with my Senatorial Form alone and sneaked it to me telling me that I was the first to receive it and I asked him the ones for my supporters he said it would be done.
“Since then Kwankwaso kept deceiving me and only for him, to much later say we are late for my supporters to be on the lists, and there was nothing he could do.”
