ADC Is Dead – Godswill Akpabio

Godswill Akpabio

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said that the African Democratic Congress is effectively dead. This comes following a fresh wave of defections that saw lawmakers move en masse to other political parties, including the Nigerian Democratic Congress and the Labour Party.

While presiding over plenary shortly after the Senate formally announced the defection of lawmakers, including Victor Umeh, who joined the NDC, Akpabio questioned the frequency of political defections by lawmakers, suggesting a more coordinated system for handling defections.

He concluded by adding that lawmakers should learn to compile their movement lists rather than announce them individually on the floor.

His words, “Resignation from ADC and declaration for Labour Party. Maybe all those defecting from ADC should just compile everything in one paper and bring, so that we don’t keep announcing, announcing, announcing. Because I think ADC is dead.

How many times can you defect in a month? Once. But some have done three times.

So that it doesn’t look like a daily ritual. If you are defecting from Labour, you write all of you. If you are moving from ADC, you write all of you. If you are entering NDC, you write all of you.

Note that Senator Abaribe has moved from APGA to ADC, and now he has moved from ADC to Labour Party.”

WOW.
