SOKOTO — Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the 2023 Sokoto State election, Sa’idu Umar Ubandoma, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ubandoma, a former ally of ex-Sokoto State Governor, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, was received into the APC by the party’s leader in the state, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, at his residence in Asokoro, Abuja.
His defection was announced in a statement on Tuesday by Wamakko’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Bashar Abubakar.
Ubandoma previously served as Commissioner for Finance and later as Secretary to the Sokoto State Government during the Tambuwal administration. He was also the PDP governorship candidate in the 2023 general election.
