Senate Leader Ahmed Lawan
Senate Majority Leader Ahmed Lawan said on Tuesday that the leadership of the All Progressives Congress would ensure the return of its Senators that defected to the Peoples Democratic Party.
Senate President Bukola Saraki had earlier in the day announced the defection of 15 APC Senators to the PDP and other political parties.
But speaking with reporters after a closed-door meeting with the national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, Lawan said the defectors would return.
“At the end of the day, we are hoping that our colleagues who have left us will come back to this party to continue in the nation building process,” the Senator said.
Lawan maintained that there was no alternative to reconciliation and consultation, stressing that the party’s leadership would get back its members.
