The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Wednesday dismissed the defection of Senator Ishaku Elisha Abbo to the All Progressives Congress, APC, warning the Adamawa lawmaker not to forget the legal implication of his action.

Senator Abbo had in a letter read on the floor of the Nigerian Senate premised the reason for his defection on the need to join hands with President Muhammadu Buhari following his “unprecedented achievements” in office.

Reacting to the development, national publicity secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the PDP was not fazed by the decision of Mr Abbo to vacate the hallowed chamber of the Senate, saying “he is fully aware of the constitutional implication of his decision to defect to another party; which is that he cannot continue to occupy the seat of the PDP in the Senate.”



According to the publicity secretary, “the place of any Senator who changed parties except on the grounds provided by the Constitution is very clear and the PDP will not allow Senator Abbo to run away with our mandate. It is impossible. Our party has already commenced the process for his replacement with a credible, stable and acceptable person, to take over his seat in the Senate.”

But Umahi ran away with una mandate too...

Man date ko, woman date ni.

Useless party that couldn't give nigerians light for 16 years.

What almajiri talk be that?

But Obaseki can run away with mandate abi?

Bunch of jokers... I wish there's a law that can stop this cross carpeting.

Too much of Pdp bad eggs are now cross carpeting to APC

One thing I am sure of is that he won't get the ticket in APC come 2023

If I'm PDP
I will let this one move,the antecedent has always shows he's an APC member since the inception of his mandate. It's better to let him go than to have him as an APC member in PDP format.

lol....but to be sincere this defection of a thing dey pain

PDP should calm down. more people will still decamp from APC to PDP. all of una na the same

Pdp is now a begi begi party

One thing is certain pdp is very bad in all aspect
They perform badly as a ruling party
Performed worse as an opposition party
Imagine if APc are in opposition the type of heat they would be generating now
Well I believe they are avoiding the unmasking of the impostor they called presidency
And the thug of river state is not helping
Once south east withdraw from pdp is finish

Okay

Cry me a river

When they are yet to recover from Umahi's defection boom another shocker came in. This is not a good time for the pdp folks

Eyah.... PDP needs more of sweet talk rather than bullying, because this is just 2020 not yet 2023
