APC National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has expressed concern over the gale of defections in the ruling party.
Seven senators dumped APC for other opposition parties after they failed to secure the governing party’s ticket to contest the 2023 elections.
Members of the Senate who have defected from the APC are Ibrahim Shekarau (Kano), Yahaya Abdullahi (Kebbi), Adamu Aliero (Kebbi), Halliru Jika (Bauchi), Ahmad Babba Kaita (Katsina), Lawal Yahaya Gumau (Bauchi), and Francis Alimikhena (Edo).
Briefing reporters after a closed-door meeting with APC senators, Adamu said it was unfortunate that the lawmakers left the party.
He said the defections were expected due to the electioneering season when the country usually witnesses all manner of things.
He said: “In every election year, these kinds of sub-steps give cause for people; stakeholders to sneeze. Nigeria is not an exception and the APC is not an exception.
