Kano APC Crisis: Shekarau group gives condition for accepting sharing formula
Story from Shafa’atu DAUDA, Kano
The Ibrahim Shekarau’s led faction of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kano said it will closely study and accept only a just, fair and equitable sharing formula.
The group said their stand is to ensure inclusiveness in the party and strengthen party cohesion.
This was contained in a statement jointly signed by seven members of the group and issued to journalists on Sunday night.
It will be recalled that the National Leadership of APC had met with the warring parties on Saturday, where it was agreed that the Kano State executive members of the party will be divided between the two camps.
The national leadership announced that it will release the sharing formula on Monday, and deploy a committee to ensure full compliance.
The statement called on APC members in Kano State to remain calm and loyal to the party until the reconciliation process comes to an end.
The statement was jointly signed by Ibrahim Shekarau (Senator Kano Central), Barau Jibrin (Senator Kano North), Tijjani Jobe (D/Tofa/Rimingado Federal Constituency), Nasiru Gabasawa (Gezawa/Gabasawa Federal Constituency), Haruna Dederi (Karaye/Rogo Federal Constituency), Sha’aban Sharada (Kano Municipal Federal Constituency) and Shehu Dalhatu (Chairman, Buhari Support Group), the group said they have not taken a final decision on the crisis.
