Moments ago, Nigeria’s Senate President Bukola Saraki announced his departure from APC with a Tweet that read, ‘I wish to inform Nigerians that, after extensive consultations, I have decided to take my leave of the All Progressives Congress (APC)’.

Though he’s yet to officially announce his new political party, his colleague, Senator Ben Bruce has officially welcomed him to the opposition party, PDP.

‘Today, I am excited to welcome home to the @OfficialPDPNig, the very sagacious and excellent leader and president of the @NGRSenate, Distinguished Sen. @bukolasaraki. The @APCNigeria failed at putting you down, and inadvertently succeeded in making you stronger. Welcome home’ Ben Bruce Tweeted.
