The Gavel: Senate Plays Down Defection Moves

Several Nigerian lawmakers are defecting from one party to another with the All Progressives Congress (APC) getting a larger share of lawmakers joining the party. As always said, 'Politics is a game of numbers' and this is yielding results for the APC, which had embarked on massive wooing of aggrieved members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last quarter of 2013. Not less than 35 lawmakers in the House of Representatives defected from the PDP to the APC after five governors of the PDP defected in November 2013. Few weeks back, some 11 PDP Senators wrote a letter to the Senate President, David Mark, declaring their intentions to defect to the APC. Two weeks after the letter was sent to the Senate President, it has not been read in the floor of the Senate for the defection to take effect. For more information, visit www.channelstv.com
