The speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has finally dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and has officially decamped to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC). It remains to be seen whether he will have to relinquish his position as House speaker.
The defection took place on Monday in his home state, Sokoto, with Tambuwal attending the APC stakeholders meeting.
Also present at the meeting were the Sokoto governor, Aliyu Wamakko, and a former minister, Inuwa Abdulkadir.
The House of Reps resumes plenary tomorrow and it is expected that the speaker will officially announce his defection on the floor of the House.
