Adams Oshiomhole, a lawmaker representing Edo North Senatorial District, has rejected worries that the rising number of lawmakers defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) constitutes a threat to Nigerian democracy.
Oshiomhole revealed this on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ show in response to enquiries about the recent defection of three senators to the APC, which brings the party’s overall strength in the Senate to 68, edging closer to a two-thirds majority.
“Whether this is a danger to democracy? No, I don’t think so,” he stated on Tuesday.
“If you’ve been following debates in the Senate, sometimes you can’t even distinguish who is PDP or APC in terms of the positions people take,” he said.
