2023: After returning to PDP, Shekarau makes 1 huge promise to Atiku
Meanwhile, Shekaraa, one of the political pillars of Kano state, returned to the PDP.
He made this move after three months of political romance with the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) headed by Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Moments after joining the opposition PDP, Shekarau vowed to work for the party's flagbearer Atiku Abubakar and called for huge support ahead of the 2023 general election.

Also, former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ahmed Makarfi has urged the duo of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso to return back to the party just like Ibrahim Shekarau, the former Kano state governor.
Makarfi reiterated that the PDP remains the real deal in salvaging the challenges of Nigeria.
When asked if Obi was a threat to PDP’s chances at the presidential polls, Makarfi described the rave about Obi as that which is emanating from frustrated youths who are using the Labour Party candidate as a symbol.
