Mr Shema became critical of the PDP, especially in his home state, in the build-up to the 2023 general election. At Premium Times, we firmly believe in the importance of high-quality journalism. Recognizing that not everyone can afford costly news subscriptions, we are dedicated to delivering meticulously researched, fact-checked news that remains freely accessible to all.
But it was not complete darkness for Mr Shema as he managed to make another ally, Salisu Majigiri, the running mate for Mr Lado in the election they eventually lost to Aminu Masari of the APC.In 2023, Mr Shema failed again as Mr Lado clinched the party ticket and refused to pick any of Mr Shema’s loyalists as his running mate.
When Mr Inuwa rejoined the PDP and Mr Lado found a new friend and political associate in him, some political pundits felt it was the end for Mr Shema in the politics of the state.But Mr Shema is not a greenhorn in politics. Facing the challenge of Mr Lado’s financial muscles and Mr Inuwa’s grassroots political connections as well as the gang up against him by aggrieved party members who felt he didn’t make efforts to reach out to them, Mr Shema looked beyond the PDP and built bridges.
Mr Shema’s official departure from the PDP may bring an end to the ongoing crisis in the state chapter of the opposition party.
