Thirty-Seven members of the Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday formally defected to the All Progressives Congress.
The members wrote a letter to the Speaker, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, citing “division and factions” in the PDP as their reasons for moving en bloc to the APC.
Among the defectors are the Chairman, House Committee on Publicity, Mr. Zakari Mohammed, from Kwara State and Dakuku Peterside from Rivers State.
Tambuwal read out the names of the defectors on the floor and stood up to acknowledge their decision to abandon the PDP.
They said their action was backed by Section 68(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
There was jubilation on the floor as the APC members hugged the defectors and shook hands with them.
For PDP members, most of them looked worried, but some of them shouted “PDP, power!”
The defectors soon filed before Tambuwal, shaking hands with him.

ReplyDeleteThis defection had added more strength to OBJ's allegations against GEJ, who failed to depend himself. PDP is about coming to an end.
ReplyDeleteThis just signifies that the APC has the potential to control the centre. I hope the lawmakers who move will be able to follow up with the ideas and ideologies in the APC. We don't want hawks in PDP that will now destroy the progress in APC. Beware bcus the PDP will soon surprise everyone

ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha indeed it is people that makes up Party what a pluse to APC but how well will these adopted, mixed breed of self centred politicians save our nation? With so many captains in one boat I wonder if the ship of the Nigerian state will ever sail to sure and if APC won't eventually mean doom for Nigeria. If we've ever prayed & believed in prayers NOW is the time to pray! "Just a spectator" Let the show begin.
