All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Femi Fani-Kayode has claimed that some senators have resolved to dump the ruling party.
Fani-Kayode took to the microblogging platform, Twitter on Wednesday to raise the alarm that at least 22 lawmakers are threatening to withdraw from the APC to join the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The former Aviation Minister said the lawmakers were bitter for losing in the party’s primary election and have threatened to continue their career with the opposition party.
Fani-Kayode expressed concern about the development and urged the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu to immediately reach out to them and resolve the issue.
He said the ruling party cannot afford to lose the 22 senators ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Fani-Kayode tweeted: “22 APC Senators are threatening to decamp to PDP because they have been denied the tickets to return to the Senate.
“This is serious and something must be done to prevent it. Many are concerned and we urge our able National Chairman National. Secretary to reach them. We cannot afford to lose them.”
