Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto State, has defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Tambuwal announced his departure from the APC in a tweet on Wednesday, August 1, via the Sokoto Government House (@SokotoGovtHouse): “I have consulted widely especially with the Sokoto people and they have confidently assured me of my next political move. I hereby defect officially to the @OfficialPDPNig. Power to the People”
In the build-up to the announcement, people had gathered outside the Government House, even as the state government tweeted an earlier notification, “Big announcement coming from @SokotoGovtHouse. Details shortly.”
