But many Nigerians have taken to Twitter to express their divergent reactions to the decision, which comes a day after Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed dumped the party, and barely a week after Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom did the same.
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose welcomed Tambuwal to PDP, stating that “ogether we must rescue Nigeria from these tyrants.”
Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode also said, “Glad that my friend and brother, Gov. Aminu Tambuwal, has left the Association of Pedophiles and Coprophiliacs (APC) and returned to the land of the living. He is a young, strong, vibrant, pragmatic,dynamic and inspiring leader who has much to offer. We are blessed to have him back!”

My second prediction has fully come to pass today. I said 2 Governors would leave the @OfficialAPCNg for the @OfficialPDPNig and Tambuwal became the second Governor to do so today. Now I make a further prediction-expect the EFCC in Kwara and Sokoto https://t.co/MTD8l8O3Ut

Aminu Waziri Tambuwal too is now… PDP. And the plot thickens. Politics is a game of number, and alliances.

EFCC will soon remember Governor Tambuwal stole 4 HB pencils in JSS3 sometimes in 1994 and they will be open a case file for him now.
