Two Peoples Democratic Party Senators will likely dump the
ruling party in coming days according to feelers from the Nigerian upper
legislative arm.
SaharaReporters confirmed that former PDP National chairman,
Senator Barnabas Gemade representing the Benue North East zone at the Senate as
well as Khalifa Ahmed Zanna a Senator representing Borno Central of Borno State
at the Nigerian senate would likely jump ship and join the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in the next few days.
Senator Gemade is miffed that President Goodluck Jonathan
has pitched tent with the current governor of Benue state, Gabriel Suswam to
unseat him from office.
Senator Zanna has reportedly indicated that the security of
his people in Borno is of paramount importance claiming that the current
government has not done enough to protect the people of his senatorial zone
from rampaging Boko Haram militants.
The Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, has already decamped to the APC to
realize his ambition to become the Governor of Sokoto State. Mr. Tambuwal would
likely send the house on an early christmas recess to avoid an immediate
impeachment by forces loyal to President Jonathan.
