Former Vice President of Nigeria, Namadi Sambo, has officially parted ways with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and declared his allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Sambo, who served as Vice President from 2010 to 2015 under former President Goodluck Jonathan, announced his defection after years of loyalty to the PDP. Before his tenure as Vice President, he governed Kaduna State from 2007 to 2010.
His switch to the ruling APC was confirmed following a recent appearance alongside the current Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani — a prominent APC figure — signaling his firm alignment with the party.
Sambo’s move marks another major defection from the PDP to the APC, as political realignments intensify in the build-up to the 2027 general elections.
