Three Kebbi Senators Dump PDP For APC (6030 Views)

Gistsnaijamedia: 4:24pm On May 13

The Senate has confirmed the defection of Senators Adamu Aliero, representing Kebbi Central; Yahaya Abdullahi of Kebbi North Senatorial District, and Garba Maidoki from Kebbi South senatorial zone, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The defection was formally announced during a plenary session on Tuesday, following their recent resignation from the opposition PDP.

With this move, the number of APC senators in the 10th National Assembly has increased to 68, further strengthening the party’s majority in the upper chamber.

The National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje; Governor of Kebbi State, Nasir Idris; and the Minister of State, Humanitarian Affairs, Yusuf Sununu, among others, were present at the event.

Following the defection, the composition of the Senate now stands as follows: APC – 68, PDP – 30, Labour Party – 5, NNPP – 1, SDP – 2, and APGA – 1.

Their official defection came days after they announced their move to the ruling party following a meeting with President Bola Tinubu.

Is it that Elu P is not worth defecting to? It was even rumoured Allex Otti is on the last stage of his defection to APC.

When Nigerians are ready they will demand true change not this dance of shame by self serving politicians. Until that day comes lets keep burrowing in mediocrity and blatant stupidity.

I am not comfortable that Labour Party still maintains a whole 5 Senators. Ganduje has not impressed me by not working in that direction cheesy

. I'm 101 % sure that those 30 PDP senators are from the South East grin

. I think those ones are better left for them

That's right, it's also an opportunity for others to come up, new people will be elected to replace these ones, those who otherwise could not have gotten such opportunities
Smart guys should position themselves, it's about to go down
Most of these politicians are going to be demystified and they will loose relevance
