The former governor told his supporters in Gusau on Sunday that he decided to join the APC “in order to join hands with the people of the state to develop it”.

A source who attended the meeting informed us that Mr. Shinkafi defected alongside his running mate in 2015, Madami Dandoto, and others.

Sunday’s meeting was also attended by Mr. Shinkafi’s former deputy, Muktari Anka.
