The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kebbi State is making frantic and last-minute efforts to prevent the planned defection of three serving senators to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, DAILY POST learnt.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the senators: Adamu Aliero , Yahaya Abubakar Abdullahi and Garba Maidoki , are expected to formally declare their defection to the APC on Tuesday. This follows a high-level meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
However, efforts to reach the senators have proven difficult. “Since the defection news broke, they have stopped picking calls from the party chairman,” the source added. This crisis comes just weeks after the same PDP chairman, Usman Bello-Suru, issued a public statement dismissing rumours of defection within the party.
