The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has stated that Ibrahim Shekarau, a former governor of Kano and serving senator, has joined its ranks.
The development comes days after Abdulmumin Jibrin, a former member of house of representatives and a director-general of the Bola Tinubu campaign group, joined the party.

Jibrin’s defection came despite efforts by Abdullahi Ganduje, Kano governor, to prevent the former’s defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a tweet on Tuesday, the NNPP said the former Kano governor has joined the party “finally”, adding that Kwankwaso also paid him a “congratulatory visit” on the development.
