The former Vice President, Alhaji Namadi Sambo, has officially decamped from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Sambo served as Vice President of Nigeria from 19 May 2010 to 29 May 2015 under the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
Before then, he had also served as Governor of Kaduna State from 2007 to 2010.
Sambo became the latest high-profile politician to dump the PDP for the APC in the build-up to the 2027 general elections.
