Of the 30 honorable members that make up the Sokoto State House of Assembly, 27 of these who came to the house of rep through the PDP flag today renounced their membership of the ruling party and defected to All Progressive Party (APC) which is actually their state Governor, Aliyu Wammako's party. Governor Wammako in October 2013 defected with four other serving PDP Governors to the APC. The folks that defected include Speaker of the Assembly and other principal officers

The lawmakers said they defected because they've been under immense pressure to defect to the APC by members of the constituency since their governor ditched the PDP for APC.
