Aproko247 can authoritatively report that 27 out of the 30 legislators in the Sokoto State House of Assembly have defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC. The affected lawmakers joined the APC from the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, which has been battling with a major turbulence since 2013.
The 27 defecting members of the State House of Assembly took the decision to join the APC on Wednesday in solidarity with the state governor, Aliyu Wamakko, who joined the APC from the PDP along with five governors in 2013.
