The All Progressives Congress (APC)
yesterday emerged as the political party
with majority members in the House of
Representatives, a first by an opposition
party since 1999.
By this development, the APC overtakes
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 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.
Yesterday, 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.

Sai Buhari
We are taking over completely cum FeBuhari

Welcome to the winning party

Dont even call this a welcome development or the beauty of democracy, cant you all see that PDP been emptied would never change Nigeria. The same set of people who destroyed Nigeria under PDP suddenly become progressive because they joined APC. They are joining the new train so as not to be left out in the looting. The old wine is just being poured into a new skin. Please don't make the mistake of voting APC. You are still voting for PDP in disguise. it is still the same set of people. Don't be carried away by change message, they only copy and paste Obamas campaign model. transformation and change na the same thing. Let us look towards other candidates that are unpopular. all this defectors have done their bit and failed the country. They will carry on with the same attitude. Please don't be blinded by sentiments. Prepare for another four years of talking and no result. Apart for the little done in Lagos and maybe Edo, APC cannot point to anything concrete. Buhari cannot use the same brute force he used several years ago to execute things, things have changed alot since then and age is not on his side at all. Osinbajo is in the pockets of a new cabal, Tinubu etal. We have seen that Jonathan can do nothing, people would continue to lose their lives in droves. Use your votes wisely to elect somebody neutral and new. We will eventually have to drink the so called oil that has been making Asari etal to be puffed up. there is over flooding of oil in the market, the prices will fall lower than what we have. There is nothing Buhari or Jonathan can do as per our economy, they dont have what it takes at all. WASC and 'PHD'
