Ahmad Mahmud, deputy governor of Jigawa state, has left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Mahmud, who has been the deputy of Sule Lamido, governor of the state, since 2007, left with many of his supporters.
Announcing the move, Ahmed Gumel, director of press for Mahmud, said his principal would be received in his ward in Galagamma, Gumel local government area of the state.
However, the PDP is alleging that Mahmud was expelled for anti-party activities.
Ibrahim Kafinta, chairman of PDP in Galagamma, said the decision to expel him was taken during a stakeholders meeting held in his ward.
Kafinta said that Mahmud had sabotaged PDP during the recent national assembly election, prompting Gumel local government headquarters of the party to endorse his expulsion.
