Nigeria’s Senate President Bukola Saraki has officially dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress after weeks of insinuation.
Saraki who oversaw the defection of 13 senators from the APC last week did not reveal what political party he was switching to.
It is widely believed that he would return to the main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party after holding various with senior members of the party.
In a tweet on his official handle, he wrote, “I wish to inform Nigerians that, after extensive consultations, I have decided to take my leave of the All Progressives Congress (APC).”
Saraki has fallen out with the leadership of the APC and has enjoyed a rocky relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari.
