The lawmakers have moved to other political parties, including the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Labour Party (LP).

“Resignation from ADC and declaration for Labour Party. Maybe all those defecting from ADC should just compile everything in one paper and bring, so that we don’t keep announcing, announcing, announcing. Because I think ADC is dead,” Akpabio said, drawing reactions in the chamber.

He continued in a lighter tone, questioning the frequency of political defections by lawmakers.

“How many times can you defect in a month? Once. But some have done three times,” he laughed.

The Senate President suggested a more coordinated system for handling defections, adding that lawmakers should “compile” their movement lists rather than announce them individually on the floor.
