The Senate Majority Leader, Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele claims that over 80% of federal lawmakers from opposition parties are planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He made this statement during the commissioning of multiple projects in Lagos on Friday.
Bamidele predicts a fresh wave of defections from opposition lawmakers to the APC when the National Assembly resumes plenary on Tuesday.
He accuses some politicians of being desperate to seize power, even considering unconstitutional means like a military coup.
Bamidele expresses confidence that the APC will remain committed to governance and won’t be distracted by opposition coalitions.
Lagos State Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat defends President Bola Tinubu’s efforts, noting that his administration has cleared significant debts despite criticisms.
Bamidele’s claim suggests a potential shift in the political landscape, with many opposition lawmakers allegedly poised to join the APC.
