We previously reported that three APC governors would be moving to PDP, namely Samuel Ortom (Benue), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara) and Tambuwal.
While Ortom has already defected, Ahmed has hinted that he is on his way out.
Tambuwal, who defected to APC when he was speaker of the house of representatives in 2013, does not need to resign his governorship to contest in the presidential primary of PDP.
Four members of the house of reps defected to PDP on Tuesday.
They are Aminu Shehu Shagari, Kabiru Marafa Sokoto, Abdulsamad Dasuki and Bashir Salihu.
Also, Ibrahim Danbaba, one of the three senators, has left APC for PDP.
Tambuwal’s predecessor as governor, Aliyu Wamakko, now a senator, is also expected to return to PDP.
