No fewer than 15 senators of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Tuesday, defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Senate President, Bukola Saraki announced the defection of the lawmakers.
Up till now, the deputy Senate President is still under house arrest and absent from the plenary.
They defectors cited that APC was being fictionalised, hence, they would not continue to pursue their political careers under the ruling party.
However, the Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawal opposed the defection, saying the action of the affected lawmakers should be quarantined while the letter written by the defected lawmakers should be stood down.
The defected lawmakers are Senators Dino Melaye, Barnabas Gemade, Murtala Nyako, Ibrahim Danbaba , Shitu , Nafada, Monsuat, Isah Misau, Suleiman Hunkuyi and others.
Meanwhile, many others are being expected to announce their defections.
