Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, who served as deputy national chairman of the PDP while Sheriff was chairman was at the APC national secretariat in preparation for the defection.
Meanwhile, the APC said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s reported support for Adams Oshiomhole as chairman of the party is not binding.
Premium Times reports that this was reiterated by the national publicity secretary of the party, Bolaji Abdullahi, on Wednesday, April 25.
