He was elected on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

Shekarau, representing Kano Central Senatorial District, was to appear at the International Conference Centre Abuja on Tuesday along with other elected members of the Senate to receive his certificate of return issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), but the former Kano Governor did not show up.

He was declared winner on the platform of the NNPP. The federal lawmaker claimed he was not a member of the party when the election took place, but a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

His Media aide, Sule Y. Sule in interaction with journalists on Wednesday said his principal wouldn’t collect the Certificate of Return.

“We have already made our position clear on the issue. Senator Shekarau is not interested and will not collect the certificate of return. As a matter of principles and personal conviction”, Sule said.

Shekarau had informed INEC that he was no longer a member of the NNPP, but INEC insists that he was still a member and a candidate for National Assembly.
