The Ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has lost three sitting senators to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) .
The lawmakers are Senators Ahmad Babba Kaita (Katsina North), Lawal Yahaya Gumau (Bauchi South), and Francis Alimikhena (Edo North).
Whilst Babba Kaita and Alimikhena defected to the opposition PDP Gumau, on the other hand, defected to the NNPP.

Babba Kaita’s letter read, “As Senator representing Katsina North Senatorial District, I write to formally notify you of my resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC), and registration declaration for the Peoples Democratic Party.
