The Senator representing Adamawa Central at the National Assembly, Abdulaziz Nyako, has confirmed a possible mass defection of federal lawmakers from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to other political parties in few days.

The Adamawa-born politician also said that the APC has succeeded in dumping former Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole by making him the national Chairman of a party that had already been destroyed.
Nyako said this while fielding questions from Punch, where he also revealed that a few governors will also leave the party.

The lawmaker said, “Yes, many of us, there are many senators and many members of the House of Representatives, a few governors in the same position.

“All of them have grudges against the APC, and you will see defection in a matter of weeks.”

DAILY POST had earlier reported that the Senator dumped the ruling party for the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

Speaking on Oshiomhole, he said, “No, I’m not in a position to undermine Adams Oshiomhole in any way. I have a lot of respect for him.”
