Former Kano State Governor and Kano Central senator Ibrahim Shekarau has provided an explanation for his decision to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after leaving the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP).
Shekarau claimed that the Shura Committee, which his followers organised, ultimately decided that he should join the PDP.
Shekarau claims that his goal is to defend his integrity, dignity, and independence as a citizen rather than pursue a position or office.
This was said by the former governor of Kano State on Monday when he announced his defection to the PDP in an address.
Shekarau continued by saying that he will quit any place if there are indications of a lack of justice and fairness.
He officially declared that he is no longer running for senator under the NNPP and that he and all of his followers have switched to the PDP.
“We are not interested in any office or position. We are defending our freedom, dignity, and integrity.
“Our political ideology as a group is moved by our commitment to fairness and justice to all. Anywhere we move to and there is no fairness and justice, me and my supporters move along.
“I have since notified the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of my intention to dump the Senatorial candidacy under the NNPP and completed the due processes.
“We told you our reason since we established a 30-members committee of the Shura members.
“They sat and came up with this decision we are announcing today(Monday),” he declared.
