Governor Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto State on Friday confirmed his defection to the All Progressives Congress.
Addressing journalists in Sokoto shortly on arrival from a foreign trip to Dakar, Senegal, Wamakko said that he was part and parcel of the decision by the G-7 governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party to defect to the APC.
Wamakko was out of the country when his G-7 colleagues announced their decision to fuse into the APC.
He said: “I was part and parcel of that decision and I was fully involved in taking it.
“The decision was taken before I travelled to Senegal.
“We held a meeting where the decision was reached.”
Wamakko was in Dakar, Senegal, where he delivered a paper at a forum on Good Governance and Leadership in Africa organised by the African Union Commission.
