Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has finally defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Tambuwal, in a short message he personally read at the end of plenary today, said he was leaving the PDP due to the political developments in his home state of Sokoto.
Tambuwal’s defection brought to an end months of speculations that he would join the APC. He came close to defection last week when he attended an APC stakeholders meeting in Sokoto
He is reported to be eyeing the Sokoto State governorship seat as the position was zoned to his senatorial district of Sokoto South.
The announcement of defection came at the end of today’s plenary after the House had adjourned to December 3 to allow members of all political parties participate in their parties’ primaries.
