Senator Kaila Dahuwa Samaila, representing Bauchi North, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

His defection, announced through a letter addressed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio and read during plenary on Tuesday, further strengthens the APC’s majority in the Senate.

With the latest development, the current composition of the Senate stands as follows: APC – 74; PDP – 27; Labour Party (LP) – 4; All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) – 2; New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) – 1; and Social Democratic Party (SDP) – 1.

In his letter, Senator Samaila attributed his decision to persistent internal crises within the PDP, which he said had “gravely constrained” his ability to effectively serve his constituents.

“The Peoples Democratic Party have gravely constrained my ability to discharge my constitutional responsibilities effectively and in good conscience,” he stated.

“As one deeply committed to the service of our nation and the welfare of my people, I have found it necessary to realign my political engagements with a more progressive platform that embodies good governance, unity, progress, growth, and discipline in the governance of our country.”

The Bauchi North lawmaker said his move to the ruling APC was also influenced by his admiration for President Bola Tinubu’s “bold and transformative reforms” aimed at restoring economic stability and strengthening governance.

“Consequently, I have chosen to join the All Progressives Congress, APC, and to lend my full commitment to the reforms of His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu,” he declared.

“I hold in high regard the bold and transformative reforms initiated by the President, aimed at restoring economic stability, strengthening governance, and repositioning our nation for sustainable growth.”

Senator Samaila added that President Tinubu’s leadership represents the kind of decisive direction Nigeria needs to move forward, while also commending Senate President Godswill Akpabio for his “exemplary leadership” of the 10th Senate.

He concluded by pledging loyalty to his new party and reaffirming his commitment to national unity and development.
