Nine Senators from the PDP, Labour Party, and APGA Switch Allegiance to ADC
By Abdulkadir Yahaya, Abuja.
In a significant political shift, nine senators representing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) have announced their defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The senators making this move are:
1. Sen. Ireti Kingibe (FCT) – LP to ADC
2. Sen. Mohammed Ogoshi Onawo (Nasarawa South) – PDP to ADC
3. Sen. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal (Sokoto South) – PDP to ADC
4. Sen. Binos Dauda Yaroe (Adamawa South) – PDP to ADC
5. Sen. Austin Akobundu (Abia Central) – PDP to ADC
6. Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe (Abia South) – APGA to ADC
7. Sen. Victor Umeh (Anambra Central) – LP to ADC
8. Sen. Tony Nwoye (Anambra North) – LP to ADC
9. Sen. Lawal Adamu Usman (Kaduna Central) – PDP to ADC
This move follows recent revelations during the Senate plenary, where Senate Speaker Kalu noted that six PDP members had defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Additionally, six lawmakers from the Young Progressives Party (YPP) and the Labour Party (LP) switched allegiance to the ADC.
The official announcements were read on the House floor during the session.
