    Kebbi Defections: APC Members In Senate Rises To 68

    Yesterday’s defection of three Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators from Kebbi State into the All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken the ruling party’s majority to 68 members in the Red Chamber.

    The three senators – Adamu Aliero (Kebbi Central), Yahaya Abdullahi (Kebbi North) and Garba Maidoki (Kebbi South) – dumped their party for the APC at plenary.

    The trio on Friday visited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Villa in Abuja to finalise the defection plan.

    But the PDP in Kebbi State chapter said the exit of the senators would in no way affect its fortune in the Northwest State.

    The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kebbi State has said that the defection of the senators will not reduce its strength or prospects in the state.

    The defections reduced the number of PDP senators to 30.

    Trailing the PDP is the Labour Party (LP) with five senators, Social Democratic Party (SDP) with two members. The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) have one senator apiece.

    Two seats from Edo and Anambra are vacant following the election of Monday Okpebholo (Edo Central) as governor and the demise of Anambra South Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.
