Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ecology and Environment, Dr. Bukola Saraki in an interview with newsmen in Ilorin has stated that over 17 senators of the Peoples Democratic Party will this week defect to the All Progressives Congress, having already consulted with their senatorial districts.
“We are going to formally defect. Before we started we were already 19 senators. Then Jigawa pulled out. We have about 17 senators that will defect from PDP to APC. The letter has been signed.
“I have signed my own. Others have signed theirs. So it is not a matter of probability. It must be and not a matter of months or weeks but a matter of days,” he said.
This move, reports Punch is in spite of the overtures made to them and the reconciliatory efforts of the PDP and its new Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu.
