Shekarau defection: Is a good sign that PDP is a crumbling house - Kwankwaso

 As reactions continue to trail Wednesday’s defection by one time presidential candidate of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau to Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governor of Kano State, Engr. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso has said that the development is of no significance to the All Progressives Congress.
Shekarau, who was among founding leaders of APC, announced his defection at the end of a meeting with his political associates at his Kano residence yesterday, thereby bringing an end to his struggle to get the national headquarters of APC to rescind its decision to make defecting governors party leaders in their states.

Kwankwaso is one of the five PDP governors that defected to APC and were made party leaders in their states; a decision that was not well received by majority of leaders of the legacy parties that gave birth to APC in the affected states.
But Kwankwaso, who reacted to his predecessor’s defection through his spokesman, Jafar Jafar, said the move smacked of ‘personal ego and aggrandisement’.
“His defection is a good sign that PDP is a crumbling house. We are not the ones that pushed him out; he left on his own because of his personal ego and aggrandisement. With this defection, Nigerians will know who is really a democrat.
“If being a former governor is the yardstick of becoming the leader of a party, then Senator Kabir Gaya should be the leader of APC in Kano, but it is not. Over 90 percent of Shekarau’s supporters are with us and as such his defection won’t make any difference in the political calculation of Kano State”.
