PDP Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar will return back from from UK to receive Shekarau into PDP on Sunday.
Shekarau, a former Kano state governor, is unsettled at the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and he said according to rivnews that he is no longer a member of NNPP though he is yet to make his next move known.
Atiku is expected to receive Shekarau to PDP when he returns after he had met with Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state in London.
The former vice-president is billed to meet with Shekarau ahead of his official defection to the PDP.
Shekerau left the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the NNPP in May 2022 after months of leadership tussle with Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano.
The senator representing Kano central said APC’s inability to settle the crisis between his faction and Ganduje’s camp resulted in his exit.
But his new alliance with the NNPP would prove to be short-lived. A few days ago, Shekarau opened up on his disgruntlement with the party.
“I will never be a party to injustice. My integrity is utmost and not any political position that will make me compromise it and that of my people. Nobody will use position or money against my integrity,” he had said.
“Nobody will use money to change my conscience. I was a governor for eight years in Kano and people believed in my integrity.”
