The
defection issues affecting the PDP Mps to APC is not yet over. It is now clear
that the aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, senators had made up their
minds to formally defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC, whenever the
Senate resumed from its current Christmas/New year holidays.
Others
have also resolved to defect before the end of January. They said the threats
that their seats would be declared vacant would not stand because a legal
process had been instituted to address the issue.>>>>
Credible
sources say: "The process to officially effect the defection has been
perfected and it would be concluded once the Senate resumes."
The
senators, however, said they would defect individually according to Senate
rules unlike their colleagues in the House of Representatives, who defected in
a group of 37 last December.
Some
of the senators told Punch in separate interviews that they would present their
letters of defection one after the other, which the Senate President, David
Mark, would be expected to read as personal letters.
Speaking
through his Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Bankole Omisore, the Senator
representing Kwara Central Senatorial District, Dr. Bukola Saraki, said
arrangements had been concluded for his formal defection when the Senate
resumes.
He
said, “I can tell you that Senator Bukola Saraki is committed to APC. The
people of Kwara, whom we represent, have endorsed the (defection) move and
there is no going back.”
Saraki
said he could not speak of other senators but maintained that it was certain
that his letter of defection would be read on the floor of the Senate very
soon.
Senator
Magnus Abe on his part also expressed his resolve to defect to the APC no
matter the situation.
He
said he would not disclose his strategy for defection on the pages of
newspapers. Abe said, “What I have said, which I will still continue to
maintain is that I am moving over to the APC but how I am going to do it and
when I am going to do it are a strategy that I will keep to my chest.”
But
the Senate president, David Mark, is still under pressure by the leadership of
PDP and the presidency to enforce the provisions of the Senate rules by
declaring the seats of the affected senators vacant.
The
senators are insisting it's going to be a fight to finish as there is a court
order against such action.
