The national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in company of some members of the National Assembly and national leader of the party Bola Tinubu, is set to meet a former governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, in his Mundubawa residence in Kano on Friday.

A terse statement posted by Salihu Tanko Yakasai, the spokesman for the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, said the governor will lead the top leaders of the party to Mr Shekarau’s residence.

DAILY NIGERIAN gathered that the meeting, which is part of his pre-defection conditions, was organised at the instance of Mr Shekarau in order to hype up his exit and show his political relevance.

In a text message sent to Shekarau Reintegration Committee by Ubale Jakada Kiru, the meeting will hold at Zainab Hall within the former governor’s residence at 10am.

Sule Yau Sule, Mr Shekarau’s spokesman, on Thursday night told DAILY NIGERIAN that the former governor will take final decision on his political future on Saturday.

The chairman of APC in Kano, Abdullahi Abbas, on Wednesday said the return of Mr Shekarau to the party “was a testimony that the ruling party remained the most peaceful platform where politicians irrespective of their status and background could actualize their political aspirations without impunity, injustice and imposition.”

REVEALED: The deal Shekarau struck with Ganduje

Former governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, is in limbo, with one leg in ruling All Progressives Congress, APC and another in opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

While PDP leaders are claiming that Mr Shekarau is still in the party, some APC leaders are already celebrating his return to their party.

The chairman of APC in Kano, Abdullahi Abbas, on Wednesday said the return of Mr Shekarau to the party “was a testimony that the ruling party remained the most peaceful platform where politicians irrespective of their status and background could actualize their political aspirations without impunity, injustice and imposition.”

But Sule Yau Sule, Mr Shekarau’s spokesman, on Thursday night told DAILY NIGERIAN that the former governor will take final decision on his political future on Saturday.

Timeline of crisis

On July 24, former governor of the state and serving senator, Rabiu Kwankwaso, announced his defection from APC to PDP, raising concerns over the possibility of the two sworn political enemies to remain in one party together.

On July 29, Messrs Kwankwaso and Shekarau had their first formal meeting in 15 years, promising to sheathe the sword and bury the hatchet towards the success of the PDP at the state and national level in 2019 elections.

But on September 4, the embattled former governor of Kano State announced his defection to APC through his spokesman Sule Ya’u Sule.

Hours after his defection raised dust in the political scene, Mr Shekarau recanted in an audio clip aired on local radio stations, saying he is still in the PDP and making consultations on his political future.

The deal and the booby trap

Credible sources told this newspaper that Mr Shekarau had been in contact with vice president Yemi Osinbajo since the gale of defection struck across both ruling and opposition party.

Inside sources said the ruling party had made a number of promises to Mr Shekarau, including a ministerial slot, should he dump the PDP and join APC.

While vice president started the overture, the governor of Kano State Abdullahi Ganduje struck a deal with him on the eve of his ‘defection’.

Sources familiar with the meeting said Mr Shekarau demanded a senatorial slot (for himself) and deputy governor position (to nominate one of his associates) from Mr Ganduje.

DAILY NIGERIAN reliably gathered that Mr Shekarau is pushing for the appointment of Umar Maimansaleta as deputy governor, but Mr Ganduje is not keen on the idea.

“You know Shekarau is critical to our success at the poll and we want to do whatever possible to retain him. Much as Ganduje wants Shekarau in the APC, he doesn’t not want to appoint a deputy whose total loyalty will be to someone not him.

“Ganduje simply doesn’t want a repeat of Professor Hafizu case. So he is more inclined to appointing somebody with grassroots support from his camp.

“Ganduje may accept to take Maimansaleta as deputy but it is just a mere Greek gift,” said a source who preferred anonymity.

According to the source, Mr Ganduje may set a booby trap for Mr Shekarau by accepting the offer of Mr Maimansaleta as deputy, but plot his rejection at the Kano State House of Assembly.

So in spite of the reconciliation and sharing of PDP Kano structure with him and kwankwaso, this guy still wan defect?

Even if he defect, he's only doing that to aid PDP game plan from within. That's what we call hardcore penetration. Most of our spies in APC will be so glad to welcome him.

that is not the real handle, stp spreading lies.meanwhile kwankwaso(RMK) is your next president

Road to 2019 is fast becoming a political show filled with intrigues, drama, schemes, plots, counter plots and counter schemes, backstabbing, backtracking.

I see it as a plot to demystify that kwankaso
political career forever.

now kwankaso political battles in Kano
is
kwankaso vs Buhari

shekarau is smart. He's weighing his options between the two parties. APC's chances of winning at all levels in Kano is higher than that of PDP. So, why should he stay back in PDP and be dragging the dead party with Kwakwanso? His defection is inevitable, all political watchers know. The effort at reconciliation was not even genuine, it was too little too late.

i thought they were shouting they didnt have sleepless nights over kwankwaso defection

APC is the only solution to all our yearnings and aspirations.. Gathering of saints

Osho Baba right now

DAILY NIGERIAN gathered that the meeting, which is part of his pre-defection conditions, was organised at the instance of Mr Shekarau in order to hype up his exit and show his political relevance

Shekarau wants a heroic entry no doubt. Na PDP put extra food for APC mouth out of utter foolishness. One can safely conclude that for the PDP in Kano, it is

Fear fear. Shebi una aure say Buhari dey popular and don't need to bribe anyone?

10k loan for Osun traders just b4 elections
5k for Ekiti people just b4 elections
10k for Keke Napep folks in kano (but were shortchanged)

Why are Buhari and his handlers scared of facing the polls with deploying cash and security intimidation? Shebi e popular?

Game on
All I know is baba ti take over 2019!
