Senator Aminu Tambuwal's media office has dismissed reports that he plans to defect to the All Progressives Congress. His team described the reports as false and baseless. The denial matters because defections between Nigeria's major parties are common and often turn out to be real. Tambuwal, a former governor of Sokoto State and a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, is the sort of politician whose next move draws constant guessing. Talk about his future has picked up as the next election cycle approaches. His office asked the public to disregard the claims. For now, his camp insists there is no switch in the works.
