APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda extends invitation to Shekarau to join the party...
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, on Wednesday visited former Kano State Governor, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau at his residence in Kano, urging him to join the ruling party.
Speaking during the visit, Nentawe said the APC currently needs a figure like Shekarau to consolidate its political gains in Kano State and strengthen its position at the national level.
He revealed that the visit was part of ongoing efforts by the party to engage key stakeholders, foster unity, and promote national development.
The APC chairman explained that the meeting was aimed at formally inviting the elder statesman to join the party, as part of broader reconciliation and expansion moves ahead of future political engagements.
Shekarau welcomed the delegation and acknowledged their visit.
He stated that consultations regarding his political future are still ongoing under a Shura committee, which will ultimately decide the next step.
Shekarau also expressed dissatisfaction with the current situation in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), noting that it has become increasingly difficult to remain in the party due to persistent internal crises.
CBI News reports that Yilwatda was accompanied on the visit by members of the party’s National Working Committee, as well as the Kano State party chairman and other state executives.
