Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal has stirred reactions online after he announced his official defection from the All Progressives Congress, APC to the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP.
Tambuwal made the announcement on Wednesday while addressing a gathering of politicians and supporters at the Government House in Sokoto.
However, Nigerians in reaction have described his defection as sad news for APC
Some described the APC as a sinking ship following series of defections in the past few days.
They wondered what will become of the ruling party in 2019.
Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST:
@Ukkayode “Aminu Tambuwal officially dumps APC for PDP…….PDP tsunami continues. Oshiomole are you sleeping less than 3 weeks as the chairman of the Ruling party and divided the house because of personal greed of some leaders & you. Mind you, this is not labour that you give ultimatum.”
@Atiloaustine “Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal has passed his Medicals and moved from almost relegated APC FC TO PDP FC…. The 3rd galacticos signing in just 1 week, APC ship is wrecking.”
@Seyoyo “Tambuwal’s defection is a significant event in a way Saraki’s or the legislators’ isn’t. The legislative defections IMO were driven by weakness not strength. A young governor abandoning the cause is significant – even though I don’t see how it benefits him.”
@Daldino “Thing is Tambuwal and Yari are probably the most horrible governors in the North. The region could do alot without them.”
@Onero “Finally Gov. Tambuwal is back to his official home @OfficialPDPNig He just left @OfficialAPCNg Sinking ship.”
@CBNjohn “Congratulations! Even a toddler in politics knows it will happen. Tambuwal is a serial snitch.”
@daldino “What now for Sokoto? What does Wamako do from here? Get a new governor for the poor ppl of Sokoto or will Tambuwal get reelected?
@Zubichild “Tambuwal decamps third Gov in one week. Though some will say APC is purging bad eggs. Fine! The Party better accept this a huge LOSS & roll up their sleeves.”
@Yincar “Another one dumps the ruling APC. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal is now in PDP. Very interesting times.”
@Sadimbichi “I’m very curious as to what these deluded Buhari fanatics have to say about Tambuwal.”
@Kingzvfr “PDP is now a time bomb waiting to explode soon. Now Tambuwal has joined the list of too many aspirants desperately wanting to become President. I give them till October before their marriage breaks up again.”
@Okunlolaore “With the defection of Tambuwal, it will be interesting to see how Bubu navigates this muddy waters.”
@O_basslet “You said Saraki is a nobody, you said Kwankwaso is a nobody, you said Tambuwal is not relevant, you said Shekarau is a nobody, you said Benue is too small, Kwara is negligible, Adamawa can go, yet confident Buhari will win north by landslide, Your eyes will soon clear.”
