Former Katsina governor dumps PDP, joins APC
Former Governor of Katsina State, Ibrahim Shehu Shema, has dumped the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He announced his defection on Thursday after meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, in Abuja.
The incumbent governor of Katsina, Umar Dikko Radda was also at the meeting.
Shema, who previously served as governor under the PDP, has now crossed party lines to join the APC, a decision that is expected to have implications for the political landscape in Katsina State and beyond.
Political watchers say Shema’s decision to join the APC is a potential game-changer in the political calculations of Katsina State.
”It could significantly influence future elections and potentially reshape the balance of power within the state’s political structures, leaving the political landscape in a state of anticipation and uncertainty.
”What this means effectively is that the PDP is dead in Katsina. Former governor Shema was the one holding the party together before now,” a political analyst in Katsina told Politics Nigeria.
