Former Kaduna Central lawmaker Shehu Sani has offered his perspective on the surprising defection of Yunusa Tanko from Peter Obi's political camp. In a recent X post, Sani pondered the circumstances that may have prompted Tanko to abandon Obi, emphasizing that nobody in the northern region of the River Niger had championed the Labour Party presidential candidate with such fervor as Tanko had.

The Nigerian politician was officially announced on Wednesday as the Presidential Campaign Council leader for Adewole Adebayo's bid for the 2027 election, following his switch to the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
