Senator Shuaibu Isa Lau of Taraba North is now the Deputy Minority Leader in the Nigerian Senate.
On Tuesday, Senate President Ahmad Lawan read a letter from the PDP’s National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, announcing Senator Lau’s appointment as the upper chamber’s new Deputy Minority Leader.
He was selected by the Peoples Democratic Party Minority Caucus on Tuesday to replace Senator Emmanuel Bwacha (Taraba South), who defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress last Thursday (APC).
Bwacha was welcomed into APC by President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House before Buhari departed for Addis Ababa.
Bwacha’s switching to the APC has further skewed the balance of power in APC’s favour.
There now 70 APC Senators, 38 PDP Senators and one Young Progressives Party (YPP) Senator.
Senator Emmanuel Bwacha cited Order 42 to announce his defection from the opposition @OfficialPDPNig to the ruling @OfficialAPCNg.
He claimed there were huge division and factionalisation in the Taraba State Chapter of the opposition PDP.
He was thereafter officially recognised as a member of the APC amid congratulations from members of his new Party.
