APC wins 64 seats in the Senate, now has majority status

The result of the National Assembly election declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Tuesday has shown that the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, now has the majority status in the 109 membership Senate. Before last Saturday’s election, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, enjoyed the majority status in the Senate with 64 members while the APC had 41. Labour Party, the Accord Party and the Social Democratic Party, shared the remaining five seats. Following the declaration of last Saturday’s results, APC will now have 64 senators; the PDP, 45; and the Labour Party, one. The development will definitely change the configuration of the Senate leadership in the 8th Senate which would be inaugurated in June this year, because the opposition APC which is currently in the minority, would now constitute the principal officers.

I knew that PDP will surely fail. Nigerian people can no longer be deceived like before.
