10 Reps Members Reject Shekarau and PDP; Stay With APC

It's indeed funny that a respected former governor, Ibrahim Shekarau join others to form the APC and all he is interested in is how to be in charge of Kano State, rather than join other APC national leaders to build their party for the good of Nigeria. This is what has affected the opposition till date, selfish agendas.

Shekarau left the APC he and others formed because he doesn't want the governor of Kano to be the party's leader in the state. But his action has been described as a selfish one by his core supporters.

"We are not leaving the APC to any political party, we will not be part of the political realignment going on at home where our leader, Shekarau, has defected to the PDP on Wednesday."

Ten members of the House of Representatives from Kano State have disowned Shekarau for defecting to the PDP, saying his action is a pure selfish one and that they will remain with APC.

The lawmakers, who were Shekarau’s loyalists before the latest development, said they did not support his defection and wondered if the PDP in Kano do not have a leader that he (Shekarau) will be loyal to.

The Deputy Minority Leader of the House, Sumaila Kawu, who spoke on behalf of the lawmakers, said they were disappointed with Shekarau's decision.
