http://thenationonlineng.net/new/pdp-loses-six- senators-apc-lp/ At least six Peoples Democratic Party (PDP ) senators have dumped the party to join forces with the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Labour Party (LP ) . The defection of the senators to the opposition parties was said to be fallout of the controversial PDP primary elections . PDP governors in collaboration with the national party leadership were alleged to have hijacked primary elections to the disadvantage of senators . One of the defecting lawmakers , Senator Atiku Bagudu Abubakar representing Kebbi Central joined the APC . Abubakar received APC ticket to contest the governorship election in Kebbi State. Senator Bassey Out , who represents Cross River South Senatorial District , is another defector . Otu defected to the LP to actualize his ambition for re - election to the Senate. Otu is said to be popular in his constituency which is why most of his constituents are said to be clamouring for him to go back to the Senate . He was denied PDP ticket in place of Chief Geshom Bassey , Chairman of the State Water Board . Otu , however , settled down with the LP where he has become the party ’ s candidate for the February 14 , Senatorial election for Cross River South. A former National Chairman of the PDP , Senator Barnabas Gemade who had a running battle with Governor Gabriel Suswan of Benue State on who should fly the flag of the PDP for the Benue North East Senatorial District , is also another defector . |
