Shekarau returned to the PDP after resigning his membership of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) on Monday in Kano State, potentially dealing a major plow to the ambition of the NPPP presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso

The former Senator was received by Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP; the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu and members of the party’s National Working Committee.

Shekarau left the NNPP two months after joining from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
