I Can Categorically Tell You That Shekarau Is Working For My Victory – Kano PDP Governorship Candidate

The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) in Kano State, Sadiq Wali has claimed that the present allegations against Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau is aimed at causing a division within the party and weaken it ahead of next weekend’s gubernatorial elections.

Naija News recalls that Shekarau had last year defected from the PDP to the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) but again returned to the PDP before the election.

However, recent reports have claimed that the PDP chieftain is now working against the PDP candidate in the March 11 governorship election in the state.

Speaking during a media parley in Kano on Thursday night, Wali argued that Shekarau is working for him for the success of the PDP in the state.

According to Wali, the rumour that Shekarau is working against him might have emanated from the silence of Shekarau in the PDP tussle in Kano because the case was in court.

He said: “It is not true. What will Shekarau benefit from it if he works for Gawuna now? I can unequivocally tell you that Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau has no problem with my candidature. It is just nonsense to say Shekarau is working underground against my candidature.

“Shekarau just decided to remain silent in the PDP crisis at the state level because the case was in court. As a man who respects law and democracy, he should not speak on a case that is before the court. But, as far as I am concerned, it is not true that Shekarau is working for APC.”
