Sokoto State Commissioner for Careers and Security Matters, Col. Garba Moyi (retd) has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Bashar Abubakar, who is the Special Assistant on New Media to Sen. Aliyu Wamakko (APC, Sokoto North) made this known in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
Moyi defected from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This is coming barely 24 hours after the defection of Tangaza Local Government Council Chairman, Salihu Kalanjeni from the PDP to the APC.

Kalanjeni defected alongside eight serving councillors and two ex-councillors.
He said Moyi was received into the fold of the APC by its leader in the state, Wamakko.
Abubakar said that the commissioner also announced his resignation from the ruling PDP and the state executive council.
Receiving Moyi, Wamakko charged him to work hard in ensuring the victory of APC in Sokoto East Senatorial District and the state at large during the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
Moyi is expected to resign from the cabinet of Governor Aminu Tambuwal in the coming hours.
Meanwhile, Tambuwal, who is serving his second term in office, met former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Sunday in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.
The meeting held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) Penthouse, residence of the former President.
