Shakeups in APC As 12 Nigerian lawmakers Submit Defection letters

THE All Progressive Congress (APC) is about to lose majority in the Red Chamber as Senate President, Senator Ahmad Lawan, is sitting on defection letters of at least 12 Senators.

Presently, the numerical strength of the APC in the Red Chamber has reduced from 64 to 62 in the upper chamber.

For the Peoples Democratic Party, the numerical strength has risen from 39 to 41, while the New Nigeria Peoples Party has two, with Young Progressives Party and All Progressives Grand Alliance having one each.

If the defection letters of the APC 12 Senators are read on the floor, the numerical strength of the ruling party will be reduced to 50 senators, which will eventually threaten Lawan’s seat as the Senate president.
