The Senator representing Sokoto South Senatorial District, Sen. Aminu Tambuwal has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party.
He has picked up the membership card of the All Democratic Congress in his Tambuwal Ward, Sokoto State.
His resignation was announced in a letter written to the PDP Ward Chairman of Tambuwal/Shinfiri Ward, Tambuwal Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
In a copy of the letter made available to the News Agency of Nigeria, Abuja, Tambuwal wrote: “I write to formally tender my resignation as a member of the PDP.
“The persistent internal crisis, leadership disagreements, and divisions within the party at various levels have made it increasingly difficult for me to continue my active participation and commitment as a member.
