With the political situation in Nigeria towards 2019 general elections and politicians permutations and game change it is obvious that the president of the Senate and the speaker of the House of Representatives, Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara respectively,may have decided to remain in the All Progressives Congress (APC) for a reason.
The duo refused to join their defecting colleagues on Tuesday, July 24, despite reportedly being among members of the ruling party who had recently had grievances.
Our source reports that some of the lawmakers from Kwara state and a few loyalists to Dogara from Bauchi moved into the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
However, report claims Saraki and Dogara are delaying their movements to create a bigger impact on the troubled party.
“For now, Saraki and Dogara are closely watching how the events of yesterday would be responded to by the Presidency, other power brokers and Nigerians.
"However,some school of thoughts said many PDP legislators may also defect to APC soon.
“But one thing is certain, the two principal officers are already out of the APC,very soon they would move to the political party of there choice alongside some governors, more senators and Rep members,” some analyst's been quoted.
Our analyst added that right now, Governors Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara) and Samuel Ortom (Benue) may also defect.
The same source reportedly expressed doubts on where Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto) stands.
“some time ago APC governors led by Abdulaziz Yari and Kashim Shettima had met with Tambuwal in Sokoto.
“They actually cautioned him against moving to the PDP because he would not get what he wants, which is the presidential ticket'.
Another source as saying there was a huge difference between the defections of nPDP in 2015 and what happened on Tuesday, July 24.
“All those that defected yesterday were much stronger and influential politically in 2015. With the exception of Saraki, many of them have lost out in their states'.
Our source also quoted someone PDP insider as saying the two leaders would leave soon.
“It won’t be long at all. Saraki and Dogara are principal officers in the National Assembly so they don’t want to rock the boat yet. The two officers are like shepherd.
“They can’t stay behind when the flock is gone. So the defection is going to be holistic; they are already half-way into there choice political party .no doubt about it'. He lamented.
Earlier President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his total commitment to the values of democracy, freedom of choice as well as total willingness to work with all members of the National Assembly, irrespective of their political party, for the benefit of the nation.
