Ex-vice president, Sambo, dumps PDP for APC

The former Vice President, Alhaji Namadi Sambo, has officially decamped from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Sambo served as Vice President of Nigeria from 19 May 2010 to 29 May 2015 under the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
