Osita Ngwu Defects from PDP to APC in Senate Shift

On Wednesday, Osita Ngwu, the Senate Minority Whip and representative of the Enugu West senatorial district, announced his defection from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This significant political shift was communicated through a letter read on the Senate floor.

Ngwu's departure contributes to a reshaping of the opposition's strength in the National Assembly, as it marks a notable reduction in the number of PDP senators in the red chamber, which has now dropped to six. This change may have implications for the political landscape in Nigeria, particularly in the context of upcoming elections and legislative activities.
