The former vice president of Nigeria, Namadi Sambo, has officially dumped the leading opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Kaduna-born politician served as the vice president to former President Goodluck Jonathan from May 19, 2010, to May 29, 2015.
Before then, he had also served as governor of Kaduna State from 2007 to 2010.
Sambo became the latest high-profile politician to defect from the PDP to the APC in the run-up to the 2027 general elections.
