The rank of the APC in the Senate swelled Wednesday with the defection of 11 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, senators to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Among the senators that defected are Bukola Saraki, Mohammed Ndume, Danjuma Goje and Abdullahi Adamu.
Their decision was communicated in a letter addressed to the Senate President, David Mark. Several reports indicate that some more senators could decamp in the nearest future. At the moment the ruling party still appears to have the majority in the Senate despite the mass defections to the APC. However, the official figures are yet to be announced.
It would be recalled that the gale of defection had hit the House of Representatives last December when 37
PDP members of the chamber defected to the APC.
Five PDP governors had earlier moved to the opposition party on November 26.

The defected senators are:
Senator Bukola Saraki-Kwara Central.
Senator Umaru Dahiru-Sokoto South

Senator Magnus Ngei Abe -Rivers South-East
Senator Wilson Asinobi Ake-Rivers  West
Sen. Bindawa Muhammed Jibrilla-Adamawa North
 Sen. Mohammed Danjuma Goje-Gombe central
Sen. Aisha Jummai Alhassan-Taraba North
Sen. Mohammed Ali Ndume-Borno South
Senator Mohammed Shaba Lafiaji-Kwara North
