Senate: APC Hits Absolute Majority With Sen. Dahuwa's Defection by Nemere2020(op): 1:21pm On Oct 14, 2025
The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC has achieved an absolute two-thirds majority in the Nigerian Senate, following the defection of Senator Samaila Dahuwa , representing Bauchi North Senatorial District, from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

With this defection, the APC now commands 73 of the 109 Senate seats, while the PDP holds 27, the Labour Party 4, APGA 2, SDP 1, and NNPP 1.

This new configuration gives the APC a super majority, which is a significant political milestone with far-reaching implications for parliamentary decision-making and the balance of power within the legislature.

That was how he was able to hold Lagos for over 20 years after leaving office, kill off all oppositions then infiltrate any new one coming up and kill it before it attains any form of power while he loots recklessly with his cronies, sadly some of his tribesmen who are not benefiting anything see it as their tribes supremacy while the country gets destroyed.

Watch them all over the thread rejoicing while people are in their villages and towns crying from insecurity, hunger, inflation and so on, to them this what Nigeria is all about - SUPREMACY

PDP is just headless, just losing Governors and Senators to the APC anyhow.

How can you allow this to be happening to a once biggest party in the country?

How?

PDP brought this upon itself.

Wike that single handedly floated PDP for good 8ys, they ended up rubbishing him.

Well, he has vowed to do all to ensure the PDP is buried and I support him totally.

The only difference is that it restructuring Nigeria demands a constitutional amendment which means 2/3 of state assemblies have to be on board.

Meaning no need for elections or what? What difference does it make if APC is majority when even majority of APC supporters are impoverished by the government they elected into power?

See ehn, shebi I got banned my one overzealous agbado mod for rallying behind Peter Obi prior 2023 elections because I knew Tinubu would be a terrible leader...una never see anything, see ehn, I will vote Tinubu in the next election so that your sufferings will be extended by another four agbado years as una no wan get sense.

Majority under dictatorial government is useless. Except for formality sake, they can always have their ways even without the majority vote

Atiku destroyed PDP. The party is paying for that today. He is a cancer. He would similarly destroy ADC. Anyway, ADC doesn't even exist. Notice they are all quite now

Yeah, they did it just like they have also developed London, India, NY, Paris, UAE, and many others grin grin grin grin grin

Lagos was already the most developed part of present-day Nigeria while they were still tying leaves around the naked bodies on that side.

May of them are not coming back to the parliament in 2027. That's for sure, especially the one representing my constituency here. He is as useless as his party 🧹

It's not his fault that the opposition is clueless, naive, and have balls made of balloons.

You all like talking shi like he used voodoo on them. You never ask yourselves what effort has the opposition applied to resist him and build a formidable structure. It's on live video that Obi said Tinubu is the one with the responsibility to solve the crisis in his own party (LP). It's also on live video that Tinubu said it's his pleasure watching the opposition in disarray.

Everyone is the problem of the opposition except the opposition themselves.


And the Tinubu self, it's not like power fell from heaven unto his lap. For decades, he worked, networked, spent, pooled resources to grow from opposition to an incumbent, as a party and individual. He sacrificed a lot, shelved ambitions to allow the building process. When he was governor, he was the only opposition to OBJ in the SW and survived, while OBJ's PDP was swallowing the SW states one by one. Yet, he remained resolute and continued building.

It's not his fault that the oppositions are a bunch of lazy and entitled fellows. How many of the opposition do we have today that is able to pause their ambition for decades so they can build a party first? Not Obi or Atiku, because the two of them run to a new party at every little challenge. Build a political party from scratch - they can't and won't. Restructure and fortify an existing party - they can't and won't.

Tinubu supremacy una.

It will shock all these people running to the APC as though the APC hold their life support. If the people say no, no amount of rigging will save you.

Restructure what?

Lagos became a state in 1968 and has had democratically elected civilian governor in 1979 up till military truncation in 1983.

Since return of democracy in 1999, Lagos has been under self rule .

How is it a Federal appendage and no man's land?

What restructuring are you talking about?

So having balls means being heartless and wicked like Tinubu, Tinubu is like an armed robber who comes to steal from his business partners who came for business dealings with him.

This is not good for our country. This administration can do whatever they like now since they have enough numbers in the House to pass whatever legislation they want.
