Akpabio Mocks Minority Leader as Taraba Senators Defect to APC in Senate Banter

In a recent Senate session, Senator Godswill Akpabio engaged in banter with Senator Abba Moro, the minority leader, as two senators from Taraba State, Shuaibu Lau and Haruna Manu, defected from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Akpabio read out the defection letters on the Senate floor, emphasizing the senators' decisions to align with the APC after extensive consultations.

The defections further solidified the APC's Senate majority. Akpabio openly mocked the opposition's diminishing influence, highlighting the trend of lawmakers switching parties in the 10th Senate.

The exchanges underscored the ongoing political dynamics and power shifts within the Nigerian Senate.
