TO PDP: KWANKWASO’S SUPPORTERS BURN BROOMS, MOCK APC (PHOTOS)
Supporters of senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso have expressed joy over
the defection of their principal.
Kwankwaso, on Tuesday, defected from the ruling All Progressives
Congress (APC) to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Supporters gathered in their numbers as they burnt brooms to
show solidarity with the senator.
At the Senate floor on Tuesday, the president of the Senate,
Bukola Saraki, read a letter from 13 members of the All Progressives’ senators
declaring their defection from APC to PDP.
The lawmakers include Rabi’u Kwankwaso (Kano-Central), Dino Melaye
(Kogi-West), Adesoji Akanbi (Oyo-South), Monsurat Sunmonu (Oyo-Central), Rafiu
Ibrahim (Kwara-South), Suleiman Hunkuyi (Kaduna-North), and Lanre Tejuoso
(Ogun-Central), among others.
Saraki, while responding to the plea by the Majority Leader,
Senator Ahmad Lawan, for the defectors to rescind their decision, lambasted the
APC.
