In a major political development, four senators from Akwa Ibom and Osun States have officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The senators who announced their defection today are:
• Senator Etim Aniekan Bassey representing Akwa Ibom North East
• Senator Sampson Ekong Akpan representing Akwa Ibom South
• Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi representing Osun East
• Senator Olubiyi Oluwole Fadeyi representing Osun Central

Their defection was formally communicated on the floor of the Senate and has been received as a significant boost for the APC, especially as the party consolidates its influence in the South-South and South-West regions.

With this latest development, the APC continues to widen its majority in the upper chamber, signaling potential shifts in legislative dynamics and national politics.
