The rank of the APC in the Senate swelled Wednesday with the defection of 11 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, senators to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Among the senators that defected are Bukola Saraki, Mohammed Ndume, Danjuma Goje and Abdullahi Adamu.
Several reports indicate that some more senators could decamp in the nearest future.
At the moment the ruling party still appears to have the majority in the Senate despite the mass defections to the APC. However, the official figures are yet to be announced.
It would be recalled that the gale of defection had hit the House of Representatives last December when 37 PDP members of the chamber defected to the APC.
Five PDP governors had earlier moved to the opposition party on November 26.
