Three Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
They are Sen. Adamu Aliero; Sen. Yahaya Abdullahi; and Sen. Garba Maidoki.
The three senators are from Kebbi State.
They all alluded to the internal leadership crisis in the PDP as the primary reason for dumping the leading opposition party.
Their defection letters have just been read to senators by the Deputy Senate President, Sen. Barau Jibrin.
They also expressed a desire to join President Bola Tinubu and support his bid to transform the country through his Renewed Hope Agenda.
The National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, the Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, and many APC supporters and associates were at the Senate to witness the defection.
The defection has increased the number of ACP senators to 68, while the PDP’s number drops to 30.
The Labour Party has 5, SDP has 2, NNPP has 1, and APGA has 1.
