Kano APC Crisis: Ganduje’s Aide Defects To Shekarau’s Faction

  • Special Adviser to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State on State Affairs, Muhammad Shehu, has resigned to join the faction of Ibrahim Shekarau.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Shehu announced his defection from the faction of the APC in Kano backed by the governor, to join Shekarau.

The development comes amidst an ongoing internal crisis bedevilling the party’s state chapter.

While Ganduje is backing the executives of a faction ĺed by Abdullahi Abbas, Shekarau, a former governor of the state and currently Kano Central senator, is backing the leadership of the other faction.

After a meeting with his supporters on Tuesday, Shehu told journalists that he took the decision to join the Shekarau faction alongside thousands of his supporters due to a lack of purposeful leadership by the Abbas-led faction.

He said he and his supporters had resolved to join the Shekarau faction with a view to campaigning for Barau Jibrin, a gubernatorial hopeful.

Jibrin is the current senator representing Kano North.

Shehu said Abbas-led faction had not been fair to him and his supporters in Nassarawa Local Government, where he hails from and has grassroots supports.

Shehu is the first government official to publicly announce his support in the aftermath of the court judgment that sacked the executives loyal to Mr Ganduje.
