But a fallout with Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State led to his defection to the NNPP. Monday’s defection came years after Shekarau left the PDP for the APC. The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar and some chieftains of the party on Monday welcomed Ibrahim Shekarau and his associates into its fold.

Former Governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, has formally decamped to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Former Governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, has formally decamped to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has returned Sheriff Oborevwori as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State for the 2023 general elections. Shekarau announced that he has dumped the senatorial ticket of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and other heavyweights defied a downpour in Kano to receive Senator Ibrahim Shekarau.

Shekarau said he left the NNPP for refusing to implement the terms of agreement he had reached with the party in May, when he dumped APC for NNPP. Shekarau declared his intention to join the PDP at his residence in Kano on Monday, amidst cheering by his supporters and those of his new party. He accused the APC in Kano of being undemocratic, saying “as the party belonged to Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, his wife and the state Chairman of the party Abdullahi Abbas.”

The Deputy National Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, Timothy Osadolor, discusses why Nigerians should vote for the party's presidential ...

But there are no more men and women of goodwill who can say no to impunity because we have been cowed by the policies of this nepotistic government and this is shameful. The only party that guarantees that outside the military is the PDP. Nigeria is not a completely failed nation like Somalia yet, but if you are taking stock of failing nations, Nigeria should be at the top of the list. It is one thing to be an activist on social media, and it is another thing to be part of the political process. It is clear that the level of insecurity has degenerated in this country. We all know the truth; when you talk about the failures of the government of Muhammadu Buhari, who is the leader of the party; who brought him to power? So are you now saying those that cannot make ‘garri’ and ‘Eko’ cannot survive in Nigeria the way Tinubu is postulating? The other day, terrorists were saying if we offend them further, they will capture the president and Kaduna State Governor; is that not ridiculous? Wike is a stakeholder in the party, and Atiku Abubakar is the presidential standard-bearer of the party and is contesting in the 36 states, including Rivers, in the elections. Therefore, I enjoin all Nigerian youths to get active and participate more in the political process. Don’t forget, it was only under the PDP that we had Dimeji Bankole as House of Representatives Speaker and also Patricia Etteh, as part of its gender-friendly nature, in the same House of Representatives. That is why he is called the unifier.

How long can former Senate President, Iyorchia Ayu, survive as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP)?

Ayu and Ortom are said to have fallen out during the nomination of candidates for the 2023 polls in Benue. Furthermore, he posited that it is wrong for anyone to blame Ayu for the inability of Wike to clinch the PDP vice presidential candidate’s slot for the 2023 polls. According to the party official, contrary to speculations, there is no problem between Ortom and the PDP chairman. Nevertheless, the noose is seemingly tightening on Ayu, in the aftermath of last week’s parley between Atiku and Wike in London.

Ayu the day after the PDP convention, had visited the Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, in his Abuja residence, where he was seen in a short video clip hailing the governor as the “hero of the convention”. Okowa’s choice had not gone down well with Wike’s loyalists, who felt the latter ought to have been the vice presidential candidate of the opposition party.
