Oshiomhole breaks silence on Shekarau’s defection to APC
Oshiomhole has said that former Kano Governor, Ibrahim Shekarau's
return to the ruling party was a matter of reunion rather than
defection.
Oshiomhole, while speaking in Kano, said Shekarau is one of the
founding father of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
He stated that the reunion with Shekarau would help advance the
position of the party and that of the state and country at large.
He said: "Going by the records, nobody is more progressive than the
former Minister whose records while in power preceded that of others.
"I am most delighted to be at your residence to officially welcome you
back to our great party the APC, the party you assisted to form. We
know that you would have not committed great amount of efforts in the
formation of the All Progressive Congress right from the beginning if
you didn't believe in it, but due to some issues, you had to leave.
"I have always said that, going forward, the real progressives would
unite and the conservatives would move away. The conservatives have
moved away and that offers us a new opportunity for the real
progressives to reunite.
"I have come to pay my respect to you your excellency, to look forward
to working with you and the Governor of the state whose Progressive
credentials are also well known."
