Former Kano State Governor and Senator, Ibrahim Shekarau,

citing a strategic political realignment.
In a resignation letter dated April 19, 2026, and addressed

State, Shekarau announced that his exit takes immediate effect.

my position as member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with effect from
today,” he wrote.
The former minister said the decision followed extensive
consultations within his political camp, pointing to an imminent shift to
another party.
“This decision follows wide and extensive deliberations
within my political group, to pursue our political career in a different
political party,” Shekarau stated.
While expressing appreciation to party leadership at the
ward level, he added: “I thank you for being a good leader, and pray that Allah
will continue to guide you in your stewardship.”
