Nigeria’s serving ambassador to South Africa, Alhaji Ahmed Ibeto, has reportedly announced his defection from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) under which he secured the appointment from President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ibeto was a former deputy governor of Niger State under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
As deputy governor for eight years, Ibeto worked with Muazu Babangida Aliyu.
He dumped the PDP for the APC in the heat of the 2015 general elections after he lost the party’s primary. Ibeto is currently going through the process of obtaining his PDP membership card from his ward in Ibeto town, Magma Local Government Area of the state.
