Shekarau of the All Progressives Congress (APC) represents Kano Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly.
On Sunday, the former Minister told reporters that there was no misunderstanding between him and other leaders.
The lawmaker recalled that he and Ganduje have been together for many years.
“When I was the Permanent Secretary, Cabinet Office then, he was a commissioner, and we used to interact a lot. No problem”, Shekarau said.
He assured that his political differences with Kwankwaso have not, and will not affect their relationship.
“When I was in APC, Kwankwaso joined. I did not leave because of him, but the leadership. The same thing when I was in PDP; I later left, not because he joined the party”, the Senator explained.

He told Ganduje, “you dethroned him for your inferiority complex against him, nothing more.”
Senator Kwankwaso noted in a press statement signed by his Principal Private Secretary, Muhammad Inuwa Ali on Tuesday, that “the fears of high esteem and caliber, plus influence the Emir possesses made Ganduje jittery and insisted on dethroning him.”
Kwankwaso said; “We know that Ganduje always feels diminished and inferior in the presence of the Emir, and we know that Gov Ganduje harbours a pathological hatred for the Kano Traditional Institution, that was why he had to dethrone him.
“We also know that Ganduje was madly obsessed with reversing everything that Sen. Kwankwaso did in the state. And we are aware, for these reasons, Gov. Ganduje was set, ab initio, to destroy the Kano Emirate. And Emir Sanusi II was marked to be the first victim.
