All three senators representing Kebbi State under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The defection took place on Tuesday during plenary, with the senators’ letters read individually by Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau.
The defecting senators are Adamu Aliero (Kebbi Central), Yahaya Abdullahi (Kebbi North), and Garba Maidoki (Kebbi South). Their move further consolidates APC’s control in the Senate and deals another blow to the PDP, which has recently suffered defections and internal crises.
The reasons for their defection have not been officially disclosed, but details are expected later.
