Twenty-seven members of the People Democratic Party in the Sokoto State House of Assembly have defected to the All Progressives Congress.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that only three members of the assembly- Bala Musa, representing Yabo, Mustapha Hurumi representing Bodinga South and Gatau Mustapha of Isa constituency- had remained in the PDP.
The defection was announced on Wednesday on the floor of the Assembly by the Speaker, Alhaji Lawalli Zayyana.
NAN reports that the defected members immediately brought out brooms to celebrate their move after the announcement of their names by the speaker.

The deputy governor also maintained that his relationship with Wamakko was still cordial.
