As Kano APC Crisis deepen, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje’s Former Deputy in the first tenure Professor Hafiz Abubakar has dumped the governor for Shekarau’s Camp.

Speaking to newsmen at Shekarau's residence, Mundubawa, Tuesday, Professor Hafiz said that, he is aligning himself with the camp, which he described as the future of the party.

Shekarau, a two-term former governor and current senator representing Kano central, had led some federal lawmakers and other stakeholders of the APC in Kano to break away from the Governor Ganduje-led leadership of the party in the state.

The crisis had led to two parallel executives in the state with Abdullahi Abbas emerging as the Ganduje-endorsed chairman and Ahmadu Haruna Danzago emerging as chairman of the Shekarau’s camp.

In the latest development, Abubakar, who resigned as Ganduje’s deputy in 2018 but later reunited with him after the 2019 election, was sighted at an event at Shekarau’s house in Kano.

Abubakar was the Ganduje’s deputy from 2015 to 2018 when he dumped the governor to contest for 2019 governorship election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

However, disappointed with the endorsement of Abba Kabir Yusuf as the PDP candidate, Abubakar also dumped the PDP for People’s Redemption Party (PRP) to contest his governorship but also lost the party’s ticket.

After the 2019 elections, Abubakar rejoined governor Ganduje’s APC but he later pulled out.
