Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Tuesday mocked the anti-Tinubu coalition, saying a wave of defections shows the African Democratic Congress, ADC, is “dead”.
Akpabio made the remark while reading defection letters at the Senate, including one from Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe who left the ADC for the Labour Party.
“Senator, I should be asking you, ‘How many times have you defected in a month?’” Akpabio said, drawing laughter in the chamber.
He urged defecting ADC members to submit a single joint letter to save the Senate from “going over the process repeatedly.”
The comments taunted the coalition working to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
