Nigeria's political landscape is undergoing a dramatic shift as multiple senators and House of Representatives members from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The defections, particularly from Osun and Akwa Ibom states, have brought the APC within just a few seats of a two-thirds majority in the Senate, strengthening its legislative power. Many defectors cited internal crises and unresolved disputes within the PDP as reasons for their departure. The wave of defections has sparked concerns about the weakening of opposition parties and potential risks to democratic checks and balances. Political observers warn that this consolidation of power could have significant implications for Nigeria's governance and upcoming elections.
