Two Senators from Zamfara State have decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The senators, who joined their counterpart, Muhammed Gasau, representing Zamfara Central in APC include Senators Sahabi Yau, representing Zamfara North and Lawal Anka from Zamfara West.
The letter of their resignation was read on Wednesday at Senate plenary presided over by the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan.
The Zamfara lawmakers explained in separate letters that their decision was due to the collapse of internal democracy and factionalisation of the party at all levels in the state.
Also announced his defection from Peoples Democratic Party to All Progressives Congress, was Senator representing Delta North, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi.
His letter of defection was read by the Senate President at the plenary.
This development now puts the APC in overwhelming majority with 70 senators and the PDP with 38 while the Young Progressives Congress has only Ifeanyi Ubah, who represents Anambra South.
