Shekarau Resigns from PDP, Set to Join APC in Kano

Ibrahim Shekarau, the former governor of Kano State and a prominent political figure, has officially resigned from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) as of April 19, 2026. His resignation letter, addressed to the chairman of the PDP in Giginyu Ward, Nasarawa Local Government Area, indicates that his decision follows extensive deliberations within his political group regarding his future.

Shekarau's letter highlights ongoing internal crises within the PDP as a significant factor in his departure. He has expressed intentions to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), following a visit to President Bola Tinubu and discussions with the APC's national chairman, Prof.

Nentaw Yilwatda. Shekarau's move is seen as a strategic shift in his political career, as he aims to align with a party that better supports his agenda for Kano State.
