The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC has achieved an absolute two-thirds majority in the Nigerian Senate, following the defection of Senator Samaila Dahuwa , representing Bauchi North Senatorial District, from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
With this defection, the APC now commands 73 of the 109 Senate seats, while the PDP holds 27, the Labour Party 4, APGA 2, SDP 1, and NNPP 1.
This new configuration gives the APC a super majority, which is a significant political milestone with far-reaching implications for parliamentary decision-making and the balance of power within the legislature.
