"As we speak, those of us who have made up our minds to seek a new platform for our political future are not fewer than 22 in this Senate," said a PDP senator who's set to join APC. Although the National Chairman of the embattled PDP, Bamanga Tukur, had on Wednesday paid a visit to the Senate to beg the leadership to stop their members from joining APC, but it ended as a failed attempt.
One of the angry Senators thundered, as he walked out of the meeting with Tukur in Abuja:
"Tukur did not know how I contested and won my election; he will not also know how I will contest and win the next election," adding that 2015 will be a big shocker for the PDP.
You may wish to know that PDP currently has 72 Senators, APC has 33, LP 3 and APGA 1. But with 22 of them now joining the APC, it means the APC will now have 55, will PDP will be left with just 50.
Also, a credible source disclosed that the APC now have a confirmed majority in the House of Reps. "The new arithmetic of the lawmakers in the House is 137 APC members plus 57 new PDP members that recently joined, making a total of 194 members."
