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 meeting in Sokoto.
It was reported today that Tambuwal would join the APC at plenary.
The Speaker is believed to be eyeing the Sokoto State
governorship seat as the position was zoned to his senatorial district of
Sokoto South.
His announcement 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.
Details coming…
