The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has formally announced that he is leaving Nigeria’s ruling party, APC.
Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, made a similar announcement at about the same time.
Mr. Saraki made his announcement on his official social media handles.
“I wish to inform Nigerians that, after extensive consultations, I have decided to take my leave of the All Progressives Congress (APC).” he wrote on his Twitter handle.
Senator Saraki’s defection has been largely expected especially after all the federal lawmakers from Kwara State left the APC last week.
