The Senate witnessed another defection on Thursday as Senator Pam Dachungyang, representing Plateau State, formally abandoned the Action Democratic Party to join the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Dachungyang’s defection letter was read on the floor of the Senate during plenary by the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, bringing an end to weeks of speculation over his political future.
In the letter titled “Notice of Defection from the Action Democratic Party,” the lawmaker attributed his decision to irreconcilable differences and prolonged internal crises within the ADP, which he said had made it increasingly difficult for him to function effectively as a senator.
“I write to inform you of my defection to the All Progressives Congress effective immediately,” the senator stated.
