Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Ali Ahmad, has defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He defected alongside other members of the Assembly on Wednesday.
His defection is coming less than 24 hours after Senate President Bukola Saraki and Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed announced their defection to the PDP.
On his Twitter handle on Wednesday, he said: “Today, as I and other members of the Kwara State House of Assembly dump the APC for good, I heaved a sigh of relief.
“In 2014, I was terribly sad leaving PDP reluctantly with 36 other members of the House of Representatives. Today, I am the happiest leaving the APC for good.”
