Apparently referring to the strength of his party, the Acting National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yekini Nabena, tweeted: “When spider web unites, they tie up lion.”
Yekini Nabena @ynabena said in the tweet: “When spider web unites, they tie up lion.” Africa proverb.
Shekarau formally announced his defection from PDP to APC after a closed door meeting with APC National Chairman, Kano State Governor and other top party official.

It is a case of who laughs last…”
