Why 14 Senators, 37 Reps dumped APC – Fayose
reasons some lawmakers in the National Assembly defected from the
ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP.
Fayose said the lawmakers defected due to their love for Nigerians.
We had reported that no fewer than 15 senators of the ruling All
Progressives Congress, APC, Tuesday, have defected from the party. The
defectors cited crisis and factions as the reasons for their
defection, saying they cannot continue to pursue their political
careers under the ruling party.
Similarly, a total of 37 members of the House of Representatives
announced their official defection from the All Progressives Congress,
APC. While 33 moved to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 4 moved to
another party.
Reacting to the move, Fayose insisted that the defection of the
lawmakers was long overdue.
Speaking during a visit to the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki,
Fayose commended the lawmakers who defected from the APC.
According to Fayose, "It is long overdue. All the shenanigans in
Ekiti, all the manipulations in Ekiti, this was one of the reasons
they did that to make sure they intimidate and prevent them from
carrying out this national defection.
"They are defecting because of Nigerians, not PDP. Just that PDP is
the credible alternative.
"If you look at killings, nobody even counts anymore. It has gone
beyond counting. What they do represents the feeling of Nigerians."
