Former Kano State Governor Ibrahim Shekarau has submitted nomination forms for the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary election in Kano Central. The move confirms his bid to represent the APC in the upcoming Senate race. Shekarau, who previously served two terms as governor between 2003 and 2011, is a prominent political figure in the state. He left the APC briefly in 2018 to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but returned to the party in 2021. His return was publicly accepted by APC leadership at the time. The senatorial primary election is part of the party's process ahead of the general elections. Kano Central is one of three senatorial districts in Kano State. The APC is currently the ruling party at the federal level. No other APC aspirants for the Kano Central ticket were named in the source. Photos showed Shekarau submitting the forms at an APC office. He was accompanied by supporters wearing party insignia. There was no statement from the APC national secretariat on the filing.
