It reads: “Breaking- Sen Ibrahim Shekarau joins NNPP. Details later.”

Former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso is regarded as the national leader of the party. The defectors include former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje’s Chief of Staff, Ali Makoda and the Director-General, Tinubu Support Groups, Abdulmumini Jibrin (former member representing Bebeji/Kiru Federal Constituency and Chairman House Committee on Appropriation during the controversial budget padding).
