President Tinubu and Malam Shekarau discussed modalities for his return to the APC.
Few days ago, Kano state Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, the APC state chairman, Haruna Doguwa and other party and government officials were also at Shekarau’s residence in Kano.
Their discussions centred on Shekarau’s defection to APC.
Shekarau, currently a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees is said to be making serious consultations with the Shura Council, his highest decision-making group in terms of politics, before his final defection to the APC.
“Come and help me, I am your son. I need your support, I need your mentorship. I am pleading with you to come and help me,” the APC National Chairman pleaded with Shekarau during his visit to Kano on Wednesday.
The meeting took place at Shekarau’s Mundubawa residence, in Kano.
Yilwatda, also held talks with Senator Bello Hayatu Gwarzo.
Yilwatda’s Kano visit was part of the APC’s effort to woo key political figures in the state amid ongoing political realignment and defections. Politics
Yilwatda appealed to Malam Shekarau and Bello Hayatu to return to the APC, describing himself as their “son” in need of guidance and support.
He also appealed to Shekarau’s followers and political associates to persuade him and Bello Hayatu to rejoin APC, emphasizing the need for unity among northern political heavyweights.
“Let us all come back to APC. Your son at the APC is pleading; I cannot do it alone. Together, we can build a very strong alliance to help the North,” he further pleaded.
Responding, Malam Shekarau appreciated the APC National chairman for finding time to visit him, describing the move as a show of respect, seriousness, and commitment.
“You have come to us; it is something you could have sent someone to do or even meet me in Abuja, but you came yourself,” Shekarau stated.
Shekarau further stated that the visit was well-timed, coming at a time he is reviewing political future with his associates, taking cognisance of internal challenges within the opposition parties.
“You came at a time we are also searching for a solution to the cancer that have infected us in the PDP, we don’t know whether it is real cancer or not, however we will discuss that later,” he added.
The former governor, however, said no immediate decision would be taken, assuring that consultations were ongoing.
“In a couple of days, you will hear from us whether we will join you or not, but I assure you that you will hear from us,” he added.
Shekarau, however, said he will not do it alone as any decision taken would be guided by the overall interest of his followers and political associates, “whatever we will do will be put on the scale of ‘Kano first.”
