US EditionJUST IN: 3 PDP Senators defect to APC
- Three senators from Kebbi state—Adamu Aliero, Yahaya Abdullahi, and Garba Maidoki—defected from the PDP to the APC during Tuesday’s Senate plenary in Abuja.
- The defections followed a meeting with President Bola Tinubu last Friday and were influenced by internal crises and disconnection within the PDP as well as strategic moves ahead of the 2027 elections.
- The senators cited dissatisfaction with the PDP's direction, internal divisions, and a better alignment with APC’s Renewed Hope agenda as reasons for their decision to switch parties.
- With these defections, the APC now holds 68 Senate seats, forming a clear majority over PDP’s 30 seats and other smaller parties, signaling a strengthening position in the upper chamber.
- The defections imply enhanced APC control in the Senate, potentially influencing legislative progress under President Tinubu’s agenda and setting the stage for future electoral successes.
