The All Progressives Congress has emerged as the political party with majority members in the House of Reps, a first by an opposition party in Nigeria since 1999.

By this development, the APC overtakes the Peoples Democratic Party as the dominant party in the House. The PDP has dominated the House since Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999.

The deputy chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Hon Victor Ogene, yesterday released new figures showing distribution of House members and their party membership.

The new distribution shows: APC (179); PDP (162) other parties (19).
The House has 360 members.

On Wednesday, the gales of defection continued in the House of Representatives as 10 members defected to other political parties largely on account of failed return bids in last year’s primary elections conducted across the country.

In separate letters of notification read at plenary by the Speaker of the House, Hon Aminu Tambuwal, the federal lawmakers cited ill-treatment by their former parties during the primaries.

The members are Chukwuemeka Nwogbo, Victor Afam Ogene and Fort Dike (APGA to APC, Anambra); Ibrahim Bawa Kamba and Garba Musa Gulma (PDP to APC, Kebbi) and Abdulmalik Cheche (PDP to APC, Niger).

Others are Wilson Nathaniel (PDP to SDP, Adamawa); Zakari Ibrahim (PDP to APC); Madueke Anthony (PDP to PDM) and Benjamin Aboho (PDP to APGA, Benue).

Their defections followed similar action by five members on Tuesday who changed political parties.

Beautiful.

Tambuwal will obviously be the speaker till May 29 where he will rusume as the governor of sokoto, where are those saTANoids shouting like rabid dogs that Tambuwal must go?

PDP Be Like' We Do Not Need Them To Win Anyway'

The most thing is that Buhari must win on FeBuhari 14.

The attack on Tambuwal has suddenly stopped. A sign of defeat of PDP by Tambuwal.

I still feel uneasy about the rate at which political prostitution is rift in Nigeria. Everybody and anybody can just decides to move with the bandwagon, with this, how can change be worth coming when we have the thieves in PDP now in APC.

A complete overhaul of our political system is what we need!.

You mean "FAILBUHRI 14th"

In all d fights GEJ picked to fight, d only fight he won was that of Nyako. This happened because the power that be in Adamawa like Atiku did not back Nyako up. Also Nyako himself did not learn from Governor Amaechi of Rivers state on how to battle Abuja PDP hawks and how to fight war of attrition. After d combined noise of GEJ, his wife patience, Nyesom Wike, matthew Mbu, O.C.J okocha, their foot soldiers in Rivers state house of Assembly and d state at large. They could not remove Amaechi from office. Amaechi told them that one minute of his tenure will not be left behind.
