Atiku, Ayu besides him, exchanging pleasantries upon arrival in Kano
Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has arrived in Kano State.
Atiku is in the state to welcome former Kano State governor, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, to the PDP.
He was subsequently elected into the senate on the ruling party’s platform. However, he fell out with Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and defected to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
After a few months in the new party, his relationship with Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso went sour after some staunch loyalists of the senator failed to get NNPP tickets to contest elective positions in the forthcoming general elections.
Posting pictures of his arrival to Kano on social media, the former vice president wrote, “I just touched down at the Centre of Commerce, Kano State. The next few days are set to be very productive. – AA.”
It is understood that the PDP big wigs would formally welcome Shekarau back to the party on Monday. (Daily Trust)
