The senator representing Kaduna South senatorial district, Sunday Katung has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Katung’s defection letter was read at plenary on Wednesday by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio.
Katung cited the prolonged leadership crisis in the PDP for his defection, saying that the platform could no longer guarantee his political destiny.
The defector said he took the decision following wide consultations with his constituents, adding that it’s only the APC that can offer him the platform to continue serving his people.
With the latest defection, the APC now has 74 senators in the Senate; PDP 27; Labour Party four; APGA two; NNPP one; and SDP one.
