About 30,000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) yesterday defected to the All Progressives Congress(APC) in Sokoto state.

Speaking at a reception for the new members,  Governor Aliyu Wamakko  said it was an indication that the party's manifesto driven by a purposeful leadership had what Nigerians and Sokoto people desire.

"The wind of change is a wind for victory for those who wish the state and country well.

"Infact, I will not be surprised this is coming a day after our presidential campaign rally took place on our soil here in Sokoto", he said.

Wamakko further said: "The APC has come to stay, and this is a signal to the opposition that our party is determined and moving from strength to strength.

"Today, we have almost all the political allies of former governor  Bafarawa in our fold. It is enough to give our opponents an indication of good omen coming our way."
