Just In: Three PDP senators defect to APC, cite internal party divisions
Three senators elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
They are Amos Yohanna, senator representing Adamawa north; Aminu Abbas, lawmaker representing Adamawa central; and Ikra Bilbis, who represents Zamfara north.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio read their letters of defection during plenary on Wednesday.
Yohanna said he resigned his membership of the PDP due to internal divisions within the party.
