Senator Pam Dachungyang (Plateau North) of Plateau State officially defected from the Action Democratic Party (ADP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) during a plenary session in the Senate. In a letter read by the Senate President Godswil Akpabio, Dachungyang highlighted irreconcilable differences and prolonged internal crises within the ADP as reasons for his defection.
