Nigeria Senate president Bukola Saraki quits ruling party

Nigeria’s Senate president Bukola Saraki has announced his resignation from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Saraki’s decision comes barely a week after a mass resignation of APC Senators led to the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) taking the majority in the Senate.

In a terse statement posted on his Twitter handle, Saraki said he was taking his leave from the APC after extensive consultations.
