It was a day of mixed feelings yesterday at the House of Representatives as Speaker Aminu Tambuwal defected to the All Progressives Party (APC).

At exactly 12:24pm, Tambuwal in a short speech at the end of plenary, said he was defecting to the APC for political reasons, adding that the yearning of his people in Sokoto State necessitated the decision.

The ovation was loud, but some members of the PDP were in tears.
