Meanwhile, the planned defection is said to have rattled the leadership of APC with some of the senators accusing Senate President Ahmed Lawan of refusing to read the letters of defection submitted to him last week.

However, Lawan denied the allegation made against him by some of the lawmakers ahead of the planned defection.

It is understood that if the senators defect from the APC to the PDP, it would make the ruling party lose its majority status in the Senate.

Currently, the APC now has 62 senators while the PDP boasts of 39; NNPP has three; Young Progressives Party (YPP) boasts of two; Labour Party (LP) has one and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has one.
