Senator Hassan Muhammed Nasiha, representing Zamfara Central Senatorial District, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The senator announced his resignation in a letter read on the floor of the senate by Senate President Ahmad Lawan on Tuesday.
Nasiha said his decision to leave the PDP was necessitated by the collapse of internal democracy and factionalisation of PDP in Zamfara State.
He, however, did not disclose the party he is joining.
Zamfara State Governor Bello Muhammad Matawalle is officially defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday.
