Series of reactions have been trailing the decision of former governor of Kano State and incumbent Senator representing Kano Central in the National Assembly, Ibrahim Shekarau, to defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The pronouncement has rocked other political parties as the move was seen according to local media as a big score by the PDP.

More shocking is the fact that the ex-Kano governor recently defected to the NNPP from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Kano bigwig has also written to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to announce his withdrawal from the Kano Central Senatorial candidacy on the platform of NNPP.

These have been generating reactions on social media.

The 2023 Presidential election will be over at 11 AM, in favor of LP, if Rabio Musa Kwankwaso of NNPP, doesn’t collapse his structure for Tinubu as being theorized. Our prayer is that, he does not collapse his structures for Anyone. Let him test his popularity at the nat’l level.
