About 18 members of parliament of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) has defected to the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) pushing PDP to Senate Majority with 58 members against APC’s 48.

This mass defection from Buhari’s party will give PDP the majority its need to push President Buhari’s impeachment.

An analysis of facts and figures on Tuesday showed that the present number of Senators from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has drastically reduced to 48 from the 63 members that accorded APC the majority status in the upper legislative chamber.

Also, the number of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, lawmakers has risen from 43 to 58.
