Two APC Senators Defect To PDP

Two senators from the All Progressives Congress (APC) have dumped the party and defected to the Peoples Democratic Party.

 
The senators are: Senate Majority Leader, Yahaya Abdullahi and Adamu Aliero.
 
The duo have now officially defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
 
The formal defections of  the two APC senators from Kebbi State, were conveyed in two separate letters addressed to the President of Senate Ahmad Lawan, and read at  plenary on Tuesday
 
Sen Ailero and Sen. Abdullahi represent Kebbi Central and Kebbi North Senatorial Districts respectively.
 
Also to defect formally from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progreives Grand Alliance on June15, is the Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe
 
His defection and  exit as Minority Leader was deferred, given the inability of the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, to come with his defection and resignation letter to plenary.
 
Although an announcement to that effect was made by Lawan, it was however agreed that Abaribe’s letter be formally read on the floor before his exit as Minority Leader, after a point of order raised by Sen. Gabriel Suswam (PDP- Benue).
 
The defection of the APC senators brings the total number of PDP Senators to 39 from the previous 38, with the exclusion of Abaribe, who is set to formally defect from the opposition party to APGA.
 
It also reduced the number of APC Senators from 71 to 69 in the Senate.

The mass exodus has just began. Tinubu had better watch out.
The Hausas would defect massively from APC to PDP.

They'll jeave Tinubu like Army General with no soldiers.
